hey everyone i tried to google it and find it a answer but i seem to be the first to get this problem

in my NF i have just upgraded my wiring for my amps (4AWG into 2x8AWG through a distribution block) and the new JL Audio 500/1 seems to draw all the power as my Pioneer GM-3400T only works when its input voltage is above 14v while the 500/1 JL amp is plugged in but if i disconnect the 500/1 the pioneer runs perfect down to voltages as low as 10-11V

no i am not blowing any fuses i still have factory earth wires running to battery and factory battery terminals

i tested voltages and connections for everything im not getting it if im drawing to much i should be blowing fuses but im not and the wires should easily handle the power so im at a loss

Is the problem reversed if you switch the trigger cables?

i doubt it mate as ive ran a voltage meter over the all the remote cables and they are very similar in volts but what ill try is remove the 500/1's remote cable and turn its singnal sensing on so it turns on when i receives a signal in the RCA's so remote cables are back to the way it was before the JL amp

EDIT: just tried it and viola i had front speakers again
idk y it came up perfect on multimeter but i know whats wrong now and ive just gotta work out a more stable solution to the remote trigger cable
