So then you are using deck power to the amp right?

Well, no. There's a seperate power wire (with an inline fuse) that comes from the loom and is spliced into the hot lead of the cig. lighter (blue-black wire, according to the instructions). I think that powers the sub's amp. There's a remote power-on wire in the connector, too. That gets its power from the "Remote" wire of the Alpine, although I had to share it with my other remote amp (a Kenwood which drives the front speakers only.)

I'm GR8FL for your attention to my problem. I can understand what you mean by

It would be easier for me if it was in front of me.

I'm going to try some isolating tomorrow or the next day to see what I can find. I'll let you know. But for now, forget about it. Relax, have a Bud!!

Thanks again.
