By no means am I a professional, but I installed mine myself and had no similar issues. Works and sounds like a dream for me. If you've already double checked your install and wiring with a multimeter, I'd think maybe it had something to do with your head unit possibly????? But again, not a professional...Just a guess. Wish I could be more help. Good luck!!

It's normal that you had to cycle the power to get the amp working properly, that means it went in to protection mode which is designed to stop any possible damage to the internal components. You need to diagnose what is causing the problem. What are you driving with the V70? Are you bridging the chanels and are you running 2 ohm loads or above? The v70 is only stable down to 2 ohms anything lower will put the V70 in to protection mode. Hope I helped a little

I am not sure if it is normal but i had the same thing with mine. It has been working for close to a year now.

Yes same thing happened to me. I ended up returning my unit. I went to the audio store to see if it happened to other units and it did. I would turn up the volume and the sound would cut out and not come back on unless I power cycled my head unit.

Hello, thank you for your interest. I can't see how it would be a problem. As long as the pick up is functioning correctly, the amp should work well.

Your radio needs to be at 2 1/2 to 3 wats so you do not over drive this amp hope this helps

Check ohm of speakers, make sure your ground wire from the amp is well grounded, it must be touching bare metal on the frame of the car.

Sounds like a wiring problem with your amp. Speakers are very simple to get working

dont know for sure what i did was make sure plugs were identical and you have some sort of aux button

I don't know why mine failed, but I dont think it was due to water. I think I would of noticed excessive water puddling under my feet. One piece of advice I have to offer is get some quote from a local car audio/video shop if your worried about getting your hands into that tight tight spot. I bought the amp on amazon and a local shop installed it for $35 dollars. That $35 was the best money I've spent in a while

Have your amp checked by a factory installer. Planet Audio is very good at making it right with there customers. I'm sorry but I have never had one do that. So it my be internal.

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!

Eric, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I have this unit on a bike trailer for synchronized to music Xmas lights. I finially got the bike set up yesterday to check it out but couldn't get the unit to work. I installed my old amp to get the music to work. From what I remember last year, the amp starts playing music when power is turned on if the power switch is already turned on. - Mike

I am sorry, but I'm not familiar with this issue. I just chose this sound card after many reviews and feedbacks I've read. And from what I heard, the original amps is very quality and no need to change nothing. I personally like this card as is.

we plugged ours into an amp and it worked fine...maybe check your cord or maybe there is a defect in the one you got?

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.

That is correct. If you do not buy an amp, then what happens is you have to turn the little head unit (which has a much smaller amp in it) up really high just to hear it. What this does is causes what they call clipping on the head unit which essentially changes the shape of the waveform coming out of the speakers. What the amp in the head unit essentially does is create an over-current when it is massively clipped which can in turn damage the speakers, usually the tweeters from the high frequency. Also, even if you don't push it hard enough for this to happen, it will sound terrible as the head unit won't be able to effectively push the speakers without pushing it to these levels.

I thought I might have that problem too because I replaced a really old Alpine. Mine went plug to plug no problem. Our local Ziebart store does stereo stuff if I need that...you might try Best Buy or Radio Shack to get something to come together.

I took it to professional in order to have the stock head unit replaced. Sorry can't help you with it.
