    Sub Install and battery keeps dying!

    Please help!

    So i installed my old system from my civic to my cb and now the battery keeps draining! i hooked the power cable to the positive end. i grounded from the trunk and i hooked up the remote cable to the antenna wire (blue/white). Does anyone know whats going on? this never happened to my civic and my amp is only 200 rms!

        The blue wire that you are connecting to the amp, should be connected to power remote from the stereo's harness....So when the stereo is on, it will turn on the amp. I never install the power remote to the power antenna. If all else fails, try switching this around, then see what happens.

        Btw, are you bumping your music when the engine is off?

        Keep us updated.

          My guess is the remote wire. Or the actual amp has something wrong in it. Try going over the wiring again and see if something is hook up incorrectly.
