amps not shutting off

Guys,
Today I got to work...turn off the vent fan, removed my faceplate then shut off my car. I got out plugged in my block heater went to the trunk to grab my lunch bag and my amps were still on?

I got back in the drivers seat up put the faceplate back on and started the car. Then shut it of then removed the faceplate. Went to the trunk and everything was off.

As for connectivity....the amps get their REM signal driect from my HU - no relay....the relay in the car powers the fans 'only'

Any thoughts?

Maybe your deck or amps themselves take a bit to "discharge"? Like I now with my alarm system if I disconnect my battery it takes a good 10 seconds for my LED to stop flashing.

My processors shut off after 1 minute. the amps usually shut off right away...my guess is it's the faceplate removal while the car running. I'll test it during my drive home from work! And post results!

Any chance your processors are feeding back to the remote wire?

Problem was removing the HU faceplate while the car was running! Anyways the deck is now sold along with 1 out of 2 Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.2's.

Focal Speakers still for sale and one Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.2's.
