- Tue Jul 21, 2009 11:43 pm #132254 I guess if I have something thats a HUGE situation then Ill put it in the right spot.

It's a POS. 3/4ths of the time it wont open up when i push the button. But I've been dealing with my deck doing this for like 2 months or so. It's quite annoying.

But it dont seem like something I should be asking for help with. It's simple, plugs and wires go where they should and it works.

yes this is very common problem.

and the remote wires should be labled. but it would most likely be the blue wire from the deck. ther might be 2 of them. 1 is for power antenna and the other is remote...

nah JKs

Back on topic, if the remote for the stereo as connected to the antenna wire instead of the remote wire, the amp would turn on only when the radio was on and not the CD payer, but it would still work w/out cutting in or out. Like ppl said could be a loose wire somewhere, best is to get a multimeter or test light and check your power cables when the stereo is on to see if they are being interrupted. If the +ve and -ve are good, check your remote (should be blue) but it can be pink if you prefer that and finally check your rcas, i did that and they all checked out so i started playing with the sub wires after that and ound out i had a loose terminal.

What kind of amp are you using, 2ch or 4ch. try un-bridging your sub and just running it off the right or left terminal

- Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:52 pm #132453 I did. :D

Yesterday when I was out there messin with stuff apparently I unplugged my ipod hookup, but I pulled the deck out and got those back together.

Then ventured to the trunk and what do you know, two of the wires from the amp to the sub box werent hooked up. Easy fix.

The wires were all hooked up last time I checked; sorry for being click happy. & typing before doing.
My bad guys.
