Car Stereos: amp wiring, hyundai santa fe, car 04

Question
hi, i wired an amp for the first time last night and it works sweet when the key is in acc postion, i put my remote on a toggle, ran a wire from the battery, grounded to a bolt right near the amp.
when i start the car (04 hyundai santa fe) the amp turns off and will not turn on. no fuses blown. can you help? appreciate it much.

Answer
Hi Adam,

The amp turns off when you start the car, but stays on when the car is in accessory?

This would suggest a wire is crossed somewhere.  Maybe something that's only got power when the car is not running is connected to the amp, and it gets powered when the car goes on, and the amp is turning itself off to protect itself.

Try connecting the power going into the amp to the remote terminal aswell (WITH YOUR REMOTE WIRE REMOVED), and see if it stays on that way.. then you can make sure it's the power and not the remote wire.
