Have 2005 Grand Cherokee and the stereo comes on but the amp won't turn on, anybody have any ideas? Do I need to tap a wire somewhere?

If it is aftermarket you will need to run a wire from the remote line to your amp.

Basically just the amp.You will have to buy the correct wire to do the install properly. Don't shrimp on the wiring.Probably can find good deals on ebay for the wire. I did. If I remember correctly 20 to $30 for all the wire needed.Its a big amp,so be sure you got room to put it.

Like other have said here, the head unit is light. The directions are pretty spot on if you're hooking it up yourself, so there's not much room for error. Each wire is labeled as to what it controls. If you're not getting power, and you've already pressed the on button, then it must be a wiring problem or defective unit. Hope that helps!

Hi. I would verify the positions of the pots and faders on the selected channels that you have audio going in. Also, do you have output as stereo L-R? I would verify your configuration for the output of the amplifier by looking at that section of the manual. I apologize if you've had it a while and the audio level has dropped....Good luck!

I am not sure about the wiring however just make sure you keep the face of the stereo dry weather it be attached or detached. Ours got wet and stopped working.

What kind of head unit do you have? And do you hookup the Rcas to an input or output setting? They should be hooked up into an input setting and fit securely in the input slots, otherwise, if they are loose they won't work. Sometimes though, the amp has bad terminals for rcas and needs to be replaced. As far as the head unit is concerned, if you have also a bad preamp output on the head unit can also cause this.

Yes, I have that head unit as well. Just remember to turn on the input after you plug it in. For a while I thought it was broken, but soon figured it out.

The remote wire just requires a 12v signal. If it doesn't have the blue wire for the remote, you can splice into the red power wire. This wire is only sending power when the Ignition is in the ACC or ON position. The remote is only sending power when the head unit is on. The results are the same. If you turn the head unit off, but the car is still on, the amp will be on but using little power since there is no audio signal for it to amplify. I have done this in a few installs and it works perfectly.

I have this exact set up sounds good and I have it hooked to a factory radio. Try sealed box first though I think it sounds better.

Should it goes to the wiring harness not the stereo unit it's self. Should work for you.. You can make one yourself without buying this. Just need to be able to understand the wiring of it.

I initially thought it did, but I found it did not. I used the speaker inputs instead of the RCA connections. I thought I read where if you use the speaker inputs, they would turn on the amp. I tried that but it would not turn on. I had to run a separate remote turn on from my fuse panel.

Is the battery dead? I had one of these amps suddenly stop working for me after about a year of use, I think the wiring goes goes out eventually. You may want to try returning it.

Yea take it to an audio person or store that sells car audio and I'm sure someone can wire it for you . Our just by new ones and electric tape them up

I don't mean to be rude, but a make sure it is plugged in first. Next your amp needs the pre amp in/out or other specific in/out rca plugs for it to work properly. If you are plugged into your tape in/out rca's on the amp, you need to press the tape monitor switch on your amp to bring the equ. into the system. Finally it's out on the amp to in on the equ. Mix that up it won't work correctly.

Wired up fine on my TJ. Not having a YJ sorry but I would take a look at the wires to make sure you wired it up correctly

I would run a separate power wire from the battery to the amp. Make sure that it is fused so that it is protected. The power to the sub is separate from RCAs. RCA brings sound to the amp...not power.
