New member Username: Joeblack89Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05 | im trying to hook up a car amp into my house hooked up to two 12" subs and a pair of 225w 6x9" speakers. my amp is a sony xplod 500w, and im using a 25amp inverter i bought from radio shack. i can't get the amp to power on or at least get the LED on. i realize it's a 155w underpowered (25*13.8 = 345w). but, i thought it would still be able to power on and operate, at least get the back LED to light up. here's some photos: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a8/jblack89/IMG_0006.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a8/jblack89/IMG_0007.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a8/jblack89/IMG_0008.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a8/jblack89/IMG_0009.jpg Is there something I'm missing?? |

REM (remote) wire is NOT connected ! - when using a car deck u attack it to the rem wire (usually blue) u can also connect it to your positive terminal on your adapter . Without rem wire being connected - your amp will NEVER turn on . is that a discman u are using btw ?...... |
