Remote wire hook up

My punch amp is hooked up to the battery & is grounded.It does not power up so my question is does the remote wire go from the amp to the battery (Which does not have any juice when checked with a tester) or what. Thanks.

The Remote wire should connect to the remote turn on lead from you radio(most aftermarket radios use a blue and white or a blue wire for the remote turn on). This wire will send a 12v signal to the amp from the radio when the radio is turned on. You can disconnect the remote turn on lead from the amp and jump a wire from the terminal marked battery to the remote turn on terminal just to see if the amp powers up. Do not leave it this way however because your amp will not shut off and your battery will go dead.

Bad ground sounds like you may have paint or undercoating stopping the ground from making good contact or unhook the remote wire and run a small wire from the main power to the remote hook up and see if it works ...... May have a faulty remote

Amp shut off has power and grond and remot but only my p550 shut off fuses are ok and all other amps are wourking
how many subs are you running on this amp, and how many ohms are they. if the are bridged, try hooking up stereo and see if the problem still occurs. make sure your scrape off all the paint where the amp is grounded to the frame which should be less than a few feet. i'd also recommend running at least a 4ga wire for both your power and ground.

check to see if your ground is bad and all of your wires to the amp are wired correctly, in the worst case, you may just have a bad amp

Power/ Ground Problem. Im running a 6ga Power wire to the battery (approx 6')with a 40amp fuse. The amp turns on, then about 10 seconds later blows the fuse. The ground is the same ga wire and is grounded...
1. Start by undoing your ground.
2. Use a jumper cable to hook up the ground to the battery ground.
3. Install fuse and test.

If it continues to blow you have an internal amp problem.

If it fails to blow a fuse you have a problem with the chassis ground.

If it is a ground issue you can chase down the various ground straps and clean the connections or you can run another ground cable to the chassis (body) ground to the battery to reestablish the connection.

My amps protection circuit keeps cutting on and off when i hook up my amp
Hello m_george191,

Usually an amp will go into protection when there is a problem with the wiring, impedance load, or when overheated. Immediately when hooked up, it probably isn't overheating.

Most likely, there's a short or ground on a speaker wire, an input, or a faulty ground to the amp itself. Frayed or broken insulation, stray wires shorting across the terminal blocks, and shorted voice coils can all cause the protection circuit to activate.

First check your power and ground wires. Then disconnect the speakers and inputs and see if the amp powers up normally. If the amp still goes into protection with all wires other than 12V +, Ground, and Remote disconnected, the amp itself is defective. If it powers up normally with all other wires disconnected, reconnect the inputs one at a time to determine if one of them causing the problem. Likewise, reconnect the speaker wires one at a time.

Hope this helps.

Amplifier has no sound
Disconnect all speaker connections and rca cables. Leave power, ground and remote wires intact. Try turning on again. If you still have a protection light your amp is faulty. Hopefully you have warranty. Your amp is clipping.
A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if this answer is helpful to you. amplifier-no-sound-peeu4x5nsxvd53n2rwetiqa4-3-0.jpg

Hooked my punch Punch P450.4 up to speakers and ran rca cables to front and it wont work
Hi Jon,  you need to hook the Remote wire up to the Radios  Blue remote wire.  The car battery power stays on all the time.  The blue Remote wire watches to see when the radio turns on, and signal the amp to turn on as well.
