Hi guys, i just bought a Audiobahn A8002T, is this a good amp, has anyone had any experience with it? well, anyway, my question is, when i hook up the ground and power wire, WITHOUT the remote wire, the amp turns on! well, actually, its not ON, the fan is on and the lights are on, but the POWER LED, is not on.....whats the deal with this.

thanks a lot guys

havent heard of that either, If you have another amp layin around try it. If it does the same thing your wiring is bad, if not then something is wrong with the amp. Just my guess

will it send power to the sub? mabey its on a low power setting. without the remote turn on wire the amp should be off.

i know that the new JL 500/1 i am getting will work without a remote turn on, it senses the signal thru the RCA's somehow.
