If you have your remote power jumped from the 12v connection, your amp will be on 100% of the time. The remote wire needs to be on a switched source. IE ignition or via remote output on receiver, that way it is only turned on when it should be. Even though you may not be playing music, the amp still draws power when it is on.

anderbra said in above post.
you need to tap into a wire that is switched and comes on when car is on. like ignition wire. or the remote wire on back of radio (if aftermarket) i ran mine to back of radio

Most aftermarket radio's are the same wiring. Blue is the remote wire.
The connections are usually on the radio chassis too. It's a sticker that tells you what each wire does.

When you jump it you gotta make sure that 1. the connections are clean....2. the car jumping you remains on...3.after the cables are hooked up you wait a minute or two before trying to start your car. Don't just hook the cables up and try starting it right away because that wont work.
