I have another account but it wont let me log on so i had to make another account. My problem is that my 4 channel amp, when i turn the music up it sounds like it is grounding and it gets very distorted. If i turn it up to 15 on my alpine deck, it cuts off/ shuts off. It never cut off before and when my soundstream 10.0 turns on for a second and turns off.  The only way i can get the soundstream amp to stay on is to connect the remote to the positive.

crossfire 4 channel- cuts off and is very distorted

soundstream mono- turns on for a second.

Weak remote? I checked it and tried another remote to see if it was grounding and that wasnt it.

I have tried everything i can think and it have had no luck.

What's the load on each amp?  How did you set your gains? Are your grounds good?  Do yu have enough power from the alternator to keep the voltage up?
