well theres your problem.
most aftermarket HUs have a rem wirebuilt in (could fail) theres another wire in the car that does the samething. You just have to find it.

so i hooked them right to the power wire
if its hooked up to power all the time the amps wont turn off, thus killing your batt. If your blue rem wire from the HU isnt working correctly. i think its a yellow wire that goes into your HU is the same, meaning 12volts off when you trun your car off then on when you trun the key on.
easiest way to checkis to use a voltmeter or a 12volt test lamp

oy... comon people... ok if the amp doesn't see that the car is turned on it wont let the subs go on b/c it will drain the battery in a few min... so if you want your subs to work you gotta rewire your amp, there is a few how-to's all over the place... mine does the same thing... and usually i have to reset my amp with the car turned off before my subs will turn on again.... just pull out the fuses on the amp with the car off and wait 30 seconds or so and put em back in.... and that should fix the problem....

Dam Izero doesnt that get annoying? I would just get another Amp if I had to do that.
