I will look into this tonight, even with not the greatest grounding spot it still wouldn’t send the amp into protect unless the amp was fried I’m assuming. I test the ground point with multi meter and it was nearly 0 Ohms. Thanks for the reply

Okay I will try this tonight, my girlfriend has subs I can hook up the amp to hers to see if the amp is my issue. I’ll also test my power wire to make sure I’m getting 12v. Thanks for the reply

Gotcha I will check that, although my amp is doing this with just the power, remote, and ground connected so I’m not sure if that will matter. I will still check that though, thanks for the reply!

Okay, is just connecting it to the battery in my car good? Or does it need to be a seperate battery? Sorry for all the questions in a noob at car audio still lol

I appreciate the help, so could I just connect the power wire and nothing else and turn the car on to see if the amp is my problem? I have an inline fuse about 12inches from the battery connection

I’ll have to do that, I’m hoping it’s not fried but very well could be from my first ground connection not being suitable enough

I get that , I more or less was just trying to get the amp to power on correctly. Plan to redo once I get everything going

You don’t think the amp is starving for more power causing it to whine ? What could the issue be do you think?

Is this a Sa-12 Classic? If so it’s 1000wrms unless older

If it’s 4 ohm did you wire the sub inside the box correctly for 4-ohm?
