Can't even get the thing to stay on now. It was on for about an hour and the fuses on the back of the amp blew. I replaced them and the second set blew right away. Checked all wiring and connections and they were fine.

Now as far as I know, you can run your power on one side of the car and rca and remote on the other. Or power and remote on one side and rca on the other. That's how I did mine. If you can pinpoint anything I may have done wrong, please help me out. Thanks a lot.

By the way, I ran 12v from the battery, remote from the radio's fuse under the dash (stock hu) and the rca's are tapped into the rear speakers.

My setup is:

Profile 300 watt RMS bridged 2 channel amp
12" Infinity Reference 4 ohm 300 watt RMS

What line converter are you using?
Where is your ground?

I don't know the brand name, just a basic rca converter i guess.

I grounded it to a bolt behind the carpet near the tail lights. There's a bolt that holds a piece of the body below the tail lights just underneath the bolts for the actual lights.

Sometimes the product itself is bad, When manufactorers make 10,000 pieces a small percentage are bad you just hope its not yours. Not saying thats what it is but if everything is hooked up right then I would yank it and bench test it by hooking it up on a bench table with a 12volt supply like a car battery and run the rcas from your trunk to the amp with an extension and just hookup one speaker and test the speaker on every channel. If it blows fuses on the bench its the amp.

So you're saying the converter itself could be bad? It worked fine the last time I had it hooked up. (almost 2 years ago, lol) If that's the case, do they go bad over time like most other electronics? And can I try using just the low level inputs on the amp instead of going through the converter? Either way, something is blowing fuses and causing the amp to stay in protection mode and I'm frustrated with it...

Last question...for now. The power wire being run along side the remote wire wouldnt do that?

I know it's a lot to answer, but I hope you can help.

What size cables are You using for power and ground? Also, did You try grounding it to a different point? Are the fuses in the amp the recommended size? Are You running an inline fuse off the batery? Just trying to narrow it down a little.

8 gauge wires for both. I'll ground it somewhere else next, but would the light really come on just because of a bad ground? The fuses were the recommended size until I bumped it from 2 20 amps to 2 30 amps. Yes there's a fuse from the battery.
