hey guys.... urgent help needed....

heres the problem me and Mr32_bigboy did an install in my r33 today, and for some reason [mind u EVERY PART IS BRAND NEW CABLING!!!!! from rca's to power to ground and rem wire... etc...]

problem is, everytime i start the car up , the amp goes into protection mode and both of us went everywhere to try and figure out what the hell is the go...

we disconnected the power and ground from amp to the subs.... and it still tripped out.... plugged it back in, disconnected the rca's and then started the car again and it didn't trip out.... plugged in the RCA's and then the subs worked...

now for some reason, the RCA's are brand new, nothing is damaged with them and the REM wire only has a join at the loom of the back of the head unit...

can anyone please help me out ?!??!?!?! id like to know, im sick of starting my car with the RCA's disconnected then haviong to replug them every DAMN time *sigh* just so i can have my subs

having a really thin pissy remote wire wont cause anything.... or having the stock battery grounding point on the chassis, is the same as my amps ground contact [same bolt aswell]....

please this is urgent that i fix this... im hoping i haven't ****ed anything, then again i dont see how seeing everythign even the AMP is brand new but 6 months ago so theres no more "warranty" with it....

i cant find any shorts... so all i can think thats tripping it, is an INPUT overload... but im lost *HELP!!!!!*

hrm figured out the problem.... it was put into the pre out and it didn't like it... plus the input level was set too high [gain on amp was too high for it to like me]....

so its now all turned back to min, and im getting the boys to tune it / give me some advice how i can get this system cranking a bit better... possibly need a gell cell battery wired up AND / OR a capacitor... if anyone has either please PM me and let me know.... ill be in the price range to buy one soon enuff cheers

ive only got 1 problem to sus out now and that is to figure out where this HUMMING noise in the subs is produced from... only the power wire [boot] and its across the other side of all the other wires *groan* only wire running with the RCA is the REM wire.. which is thin as all **** [which may be the problem... not sure ]

cheers guys...
