Re: Amp not switching off

Yeah I think it’s from an old Golf. I did order a new one but GSF sent me a 5 pin which I’ll be sending back.

Re: Amp not switching off

I was thinking of a switch mounted on the dash somewhere which I can manage but the whole floating ground and pop on power on/off is also bugging me as I don't have the know how to sort that yet.
