Ap 1000 amp checked wiring ground ect . the amp comes on when i turn the radio on at no volume and beats steady for no reason jumped remote wire same . plugged audio jacks and the same . please help

Buy a cheap 12v circut wire tester and see if your getting juce from the remote wire. Also check fuses. If no juse just tap the radio acc wire and run it to the remote amp wire. Also check your amp ground. Infact first bridge your 12v amp + wire to the remote wire with some pliers or a short wire and see if the amp comes on. That will make sure the amp is not the issue.

Sometimes there is a fuse inside but they are usually thermal and reset when they cool. You said u blew a 60 amp fuse. Is that what the manuf reccomends? Check your remote turn on wire (blue) make sure u have power on the remote wire when you turn the radio on. only thing really left are the grounds

the remote wire might have touched ground... make sure you still have voltage on the remote wire with the radio turned on....another test is jump the main red wire to remote also..

in general

the positive terminal is connected to the positive of the battery

the negative terminal is connected to a metal grounding point on the car ( find a metal spot on the car to connect the negative terminal of amplifier)(do not connect it to the negative side of the battery)

the remote terminal connects to either the remote line from the back of the radio blue and white wire

if the radio does not have a remote wire then use the red wire which is the acc (check this against your car wiring)

the speakers are simple connect the positive of radio to positive terminal ect

and the input comes from the radio as a phono jack connect that to the input of the input of the amplifier right left ect ect also if the radio has only left and right then you need a splitter for the phono cable because your amp is 4 channel

if the radio does not have phono jacks then you need to take the output that usually goes to the speakers and route them to the amp and attach pho no jacks on them

the easiest thing to do is check the voltage at the amp, between the red power wire and the black it should be the same as the voltage across your battery under the hood. now turn your radio on and c heck the remote turn on wire this wire is at the amp and is usually blue it should have 12 volt when the radio is on and 0 volts whe the radio is turned off check between the blue remote wire and the black ground wire unhook subs from amp and check the resistance across the speaker terminals with a digital mutimeter, if your subs are 4 ohms then your reading on the meter should be around 4, if it is close to 1 or 0, then it's probibly your subs. if everything is good check the fuse on the amp

You should definitely upgrade the power wire to the sub amp to 4 gauge -absolutely your choking your amp its starving for current-poor thing is starving !!!!!!!

double check all of you wires. Make sure that you have your power, remote and ground from known good sources. Also double check all fuses, the inline fuse for the power wire, the fuse on the amp, and also check the fuse for the radio or where ever your remote wire is coming from.

IF IT IS A NEW AMP IT MAY ONLY BE THAT THE REMOTE POWER WIRE IS NOT GETTING THE 12 VOLTS TO TURN ON ....IF IT IS OLD IT MAY BE ANYTHING POWER WIRE GROUND WIRE FUSES ECT... HARD TO SAY...GOOD LUCK

You may have open shields on the head unit. You need to check continuity between the shield and the case of the head unit. The following page shows you how to do it.

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.
