arg picked up a multimeter....at first all was good, 14.04v to each amp...nothing on the remote turn on, ok deck wasn't on...woops, turned deck on...getting nothing on ground, check at deck....one of hte wires got pinched and cut...so i patched that up.....check power at amps...14, again forget to turn the deck on...turn it on it's like 6v at amps all of a sudden...recheck things go back....it's check stereo side of inline fuse by battery, it's 14v.

I checked both with my current amp ground and a different ground and i got different readings there. So i'm gonna double check the amp ground tommorrow. But i'm not positive why i'm still getting this kinda intermittent voltage ratings - suppose it's probably just my testing.

the one time i checked the voltage at my distro block....as well as at the amps and all were reading like 6v. The power wire doesn't even run under the carpet, i can see it all the way along and it looks fine...battery reading of my jeep seems to be fine....shows at about 14v most of the time lil above lil below here n there, but nothing crazy.

thought i should let all y'all know the result and culpret of the problem.

Found a nearly spliced remote turn-on wire behind the cdplayer.....which apparenlty wasn't causing any problems.

Turns out the problem was my ground. I was only getting like 5v to the amps thru it.

Moved it over like 6" to another screw and all is peachy.
