you have the OEM sub wire under the carpet you could put it there.. If not run it back to the radio

Samb22

dont have the sub wire and there is no remote wire in the back of the radio. Iv tried all the fuses that I hear guys using and still cant get the amp to turn on

You tried the cigarette lighter fuse?? Thats a popular one.. Does your amp power on when you hop it across to
The power wire?

Is the vehicle power on when you test it out? Sounds stupid i know but.. Its happened

Samb22

yes the truck powers on lol but I havnt tried the cig fuse yet, I will soon tho!

Samb22

and yes the amp comes on when I touch the remote wire to the power wire

Samb22

well the cig fuse worked! until I actually turned the truck on then the amp went into protection mode:/. Any idea why that would happen?

When you hop the remote and power wire together what happens? Does the amp stay on or go into protection mode to?? Are your wires NEW?? Disconnect the subs from the amp.. If you are running the wrong OHM then it will shut down.. 2ohm amp trying to run a 1ohm or .5ohm load aint gonna happen..

Post a photo of the amp

the ohms are fine but Iv nartowed down the problem.... the amp works fine when I have the high input plug unplugged(im not using the rca's since the amp has a high input option)...but as soon as I plug the inputs in it shuts down? and yes Iv tapped into the correct wires.

nevermind the black and red wires to the right of the amp in the last pic, those are for a different purpose.
