I installed a RF PBR 300x2 and it will not turn on when i turn my bike on. I have the power and ground wires ran to the battery and have spliced in all the wires. Any common problems for the amp not turning on?

 

Did u hook up the remote power

 

No need for rem on the RF amp. It uses the voltage from the stereo/speaker to turn on. Has a setting **** on the side which I have set to 4 volts.

 

What HU?

 

It is the stock head unit. I talked with a friend who is an electrical engineer and he said to never ground to the battery. Is this true even though the directions say to? Also, where else is a good grounding spot?

 

Your bud should talk to the electrical engineers at Fosgate that published a bulletin stating otherwise for Harley's.

Have u checked that power is getting to the amp? If so, then I would try a remote wire to see if the amp turns on, if it does then it could be your speaker high level input connections. If u have power, ground and remote and it doesn't turn on, something's up with the amp.

 

Had a PBR300, couldn't get it to work (stock 2014 HU), hooked up the REM wire after talking to the RF tech. Worked like a charm.

 

Hooking up the remote wire won't hurt it, try it and see.

 

Where would i hook the rem to?

 

What bike?
