Last night I completed my amp install with my OEM sub box, all went well following the article here on amp install, all wire taps were good and the 12v accessory appeared to be all good.
BUT when i turned off the ignition the amp switched off but continued to hum with the fan and the blue lights that glow still illuminated.It is an Audiobahn A200T 200 w amp, I had to pull the inline fuse to finally kill the amp.
So can anyone throw any suggestions, the other issue I had was that the casing from the amp touches the steel frame it is mounted on and seems to be shorting itself out.I have attached all ground wires as should be, it seems a strange question but does the case of the amp need to be isolated from the metal bracket that i made to carry it.I have bolted the bracket to the existing rack in the rear left where the Nav would go if I had it.
The amp was operating fine re; the speakers worked and the signal was good.
Any help gratefully apreciated.
