Hey guys,
I recently suffered an unfortunate incident (my car battery got drained completely) - might have left a light or something on in the car...However I'm all good now but not too confident to connect the positive terminal back to my amp for the sub, fearing that it might be the cause of the dead battery...I decided to do a little test..lemme explain...
I connected the amp positive (+ve) cable back to the battery and measured the voltage running across the amp and it was around 12.3V. I had my ignition key in the off position, my radio was turned off and I had 12.3V running across the terminals of the amp...Is this how its supposed to be or am I missing something??? Because if this is the case, it might explain my dead battery.
If not, then something else might be the problem. Is there another way i can test to make sure if the amp is really consuming power while the key and everything else is turned off in the car??
Thanks for any help
