Amp remote options

[Graybeard23]

What are you using for your amp remote for those who upgraded the audio? I have an audio control lc7i using the feature to power on when a signal is detected and daisy changed to the amps. My concern is there may be a risk that it could be contributing to an alert I just received that the truck is in Power save mode although the battery voltage is fine. I have an appt with the dealer but figure I would use a aux switch or tap into the fuse box for the remote turn on.

My amp uses speaker level detection for turn on and works fine - no remote power line needed.

Now it could very well be your amp isn’t shutting off when it’s supposed to - so I’m not saying it isn’t because I’m not there to look at it. But these AGM batteries are also notorious for going bad in cold weather too, and getting numerous “Deep Sleep” notifications is a sign the battery is on the way out.

You can’t really go by voltage alone on these AGM batteries. They will look fine but when you go to crank the voltage drops like a rock and computers start to go haywire
