I installed a PBR300x2 amp and J&M speakers today. Power wire connect to the battery, ground wire connected to the speaker bracket support at the black support, and remote wire hooked up to cigarette lighter power.

When I turn the bike on to make sure everything works, everything works. Problem is when I turn the bike off the radio and instruments continue to stay on and work. Only way to turn off is to remove the fuse from the amp power wire.

What have I done wrong?

Thank you

 

Ground wire to the battery for starters.....and remote to switched power...orange wire at the headlight plug

 

Per the amp install directions, ground wire is to be connected to the chassis. I'll take a look and try to find the orange wire at the head lamp plug

 

Yup !

 

I switched the power remote wire to the orange head lamp and I still have the same problem. I'll try moving the ground and see what happens.

 

Switch the ground to the battery and still have the same problem. I pull the fuse for the amp and then check the radio staying on after shutting off and it works.

When turning off the bike, the radio and instruments stay on. Only way i can get the radio to turn off is by pulling the amp fuse

 

Ground to chassis. Remote wire should not be connected. The amp will turn on when it senses power to the speakers and shut off when power to speakers shuts off.

 

What was your issue: how did your resolve the problem I have the exact same issue after installing an amp with a stock HD stereo on my 2012

 

What amp and HU are you using and how do you have it wired?

 

I have a new rockford fosgate. 400watt powered from battery and grounded to frame. remote wire from headlight aux. amp goes off with ignition but radio and dash lights dont. I can manually turn off radio and it shut off everything else. weird.
