Amp not switching off
Amp not switching off
I‘ve fitted a powered sub into my S8. I took the RCA feeds and switched live from the 25 pin plug for the factory Bose amplifier. I tested the switched live before splicing and all was good. What’s happening now is the amp isn’t turning off even with key out. However if I unplug the RCAs or the power plug to the wired sub it switches off and remains off. I used pin 3 (AF earth) for the RCA grounds. Could this be the issue?

AF is floating ground used for RDS so yes.
Re: Amp not switching off
I remember reading about this on how it's not a true 'ground' but couldn't remember where. My audio knowledge is pretty basic so not sure what the alternative is. Can I use the ground for the RCAs on lets say the rear speaker grounds or will that not work?
