ghost1647545489 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Okay I have a Kenwood amp and subs hooked up to a Kenwood deck and Im getting no sound. Amp lights up turned on, but when I unplug the rca's from the amp it turns off. Tried different RCA's, same issue. Anyone know what it could be? Im about to check and try to wire a RCA adapter to see what happens. Also I called Kenwood they seem to think its the amp, I actually did too until I replaced it and had the same issue. I am pretty positive that the ground wire is in appropriate place, but I dont get whats happening. But if anyone knows of anything to try, I would appreciate it.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 You have ground, 12v constant and power all hooked up? I have never heard of an amp shutting off from the rca plugs being disconnected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrb00st Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 i have seen this many times, some amps have a "auto turn-on". they dont need a remote wire they just turn on when they get a signal. kinda neat feature, but sucks when closing doors or leaving the windows down, cuz any movement from the speakers will kick the amp on but in his car, the rca's were creating enough ground to make the amp come on.
