need some audio help

[RedDaemon]

i have a sony amp Sony XM-2165GTX

im installing it back into my car to check out my two subs to see if theyre working properly however theres a problem.

when the car is on accessory, the amp works fine, however when u start the car, something trips the protector within the amp and does not function

any ideas?

wow that sounds odd

check the ground but i dont know what that could be.

do you have an aftermarket cd player

 

[RedDaemon]

yea a Panasonic CQ-DF602U

 

[RedDaemon]

could my car be surging when its cranking over?

ill go check my ground tho

 

[RedDaemon]

well its not my grounds, theyre all secure

 

[RedDaemon]

could it be that my car is making more than 12.5V when cranking over? i dont get it

maybe when you hooked up the remote power wire, you tapped into the wrong wire. it should be "t'ed" intop the ignition wire i think, and maybe you have it tapped strictly into the accessory. just shooting in the dark

no, i figured out what my problem was, its the stupidest thing ever

i swapped the fuses, now it works how crazy is that crap?

P.S. i didnt swap them at an earlier time

looks like i'm back on track, sorta, i lost another day...this is taking way too long :/
