ive had the back off the amp and there connections running down both sides of the amp and half of them are all black and burnt. when it started smoking all i did was turn the remote lead on, didnt even have any music playing. ive had this setup like this for a couple of weeks running fine. owell il jus have to see what they say, wether they can fix it or not? | |

The smoking may not even be due to the remote. | |

Plus i was thinking of "smoothness" operation, rathing than having to flick a switch etc etc :thumbs: | |

But what if the remote output had blown altogether on the headunit? What trigger could you use? You wouldnt have one, so that may be his only option. | |

if you try to power more than one amp it may have problems depending on the remote lead. Either that or you headunits remote was already using too much of its mA current to power an electric aerial/aerial booster ect. Its a pisser on some corsa's :lol: | |
