Do you hook the amp directly to the battery, will it drain the battery when not in use? If not, where do i hook the amp up to?

I didn't like the volume switch, and they have it going off a fuse, to the amp then grounded and battery. Yes, twice I was left to sit because of this. Even when nothing is plugged into the USB.

I hooked the ground wire to the frame of the bike and the positive wire I ran to the fuse box, hooked that way it was powered when I turned on the ignition

I hooked it in to the fuse box it would drain the battery because it would always be on if you hooked it direct

Take it out of the box, tune it and it sounds great without any adjustments. I have amplifiers but like my electric/acoustic guitars I usually prefer it unplugged.

no, I have mine plugged into a 15amp line, never a problem. Had mine 6 years , solid runs cool, loads of power. Its a great amp.

Yes it's like wiring a regular amplifier. Has RCA and high level inputs. Only thing it lacks is a remote on wire. On another note it does not need to be directly wired to your battery like a normal amp would. Hope this has helped you.

I use mine with the converter. It should be ok to wire it to a 12 VDC battery BUT be sure to put an in-line fuse rated slightly higher than the input current shown on the amplifier label sticker. Car batteries can provide dangerous levels of current to a short circuit.

mine did not need a battery. Not all foot-switches are wired the same way so make sure its compatible with your amp.

I had mine hooked up to a car amp.It worked for 5 hours.Then nothing. It is a piece of trash.

you will blow up your amp if u plug it into the input channel. this unit is already an amp itself, its meant to be plugged into a speaker cabinet.

I pulled from the accessory plug, blue wire. If you are using high-level inputs, the amp should turn on automatically if setup correctly.

I have not try that yet. But since you brought it up, I will test it. How the unit has to work with an amp.

I do know that you can plug it in to an amp ...... I am not an expert but I hooked it to my amp....Dick

This amp really doesn't use much power. I've run the smaller (200 amp 2 channel) one for 20 hours (most of a weekend) off a simple AGM deep cycle without charging it while at anchor.

It's pretty easy. You have a power conductor, ground, then your choice of speaker wire input or RCA line input. Typically the blue wire from your head unit would be for turning on your amp but this is not needed since this unit turns itself on and off by sensing signal input. Jason L. is right about not running your power directly to your battery. The instructions don't say you have to, so I didn't, it works just fine. #10 gauge wire not needed.

Hi Richard,Did you install a 9V battery? More information about what you tried and what the results were would be helpful. If you just plugged the amp cable into your guitar and started strumming then it won't work. This guitar requires a 9V battery for the pre-amp. Look directly above the volume/bass/treble controls and you'll find a small battery compartment. Open it and install a fresh 9V battery. And of course make sure your external amplifier is powered on too ;-) Hopefully the battery is your problem, otherwise give us more info..

If you are running it on 9 volt battery and the batteries are running down then yes. Otherwise, get a tone boosting pedal and use that to pick up the missing sounds. It's a great little amp,but it is little you can only get so much sound out of it.

it would have to have a preamp unit to plug into - otherwise you would use a clamp on or stick on amp hookup

Plug in the two RCA jacks to your amp, then plug in the power supply... That's It !!! Don't forget to ground the turntable to the amp..
