Hi Guys there may be a quick and simple answer to this prob that im having despite the hours and hours that ive spent checking, splitting and cutting wires!

Long story short i wanted to get rid of the electric antenna from coming up and down each time my head unit comes on and off. Firstly it goes up way past the roof and it looks like im fishing and secondly.............................well thats it really, i look like im fishin'.

So i disconnected a few wires in hope that id simply cut the power to the antenna but now, for whatever reason my amp and consequently sub arent getting power = no doof doof :banana:

Ive tried (as stated above) reconnecting the original wires and have tried 2 diff amps with the sub and same setup but it just wont work.

At the moment ive simply got the remote wire for the amp connected to the back of the headunit. All other wires are connected as normal (speakers) and ive got the pre amp plugs (L&R) both connected to the amp.

Can anyone help me out. What connections have i missed?????

Any advise would be greatly appriciated people.

Kind regards, Evan

Have you checked your fuses in case you blew one??? and your ariel shouldn't be going up and down as soon as you turn off your HU it sounds like you had the antenna wire connected to the acc wire and not the dedicated power wire for the antenna

make sure your antenna is DEFINATELY connected to the remote antenna out coming off your head unit. this is usually blue.

also make sure your other wires are properly connected up whilst doing it. as for your sub and amp, you do have a positive and negative lead running to them yes?

maybe check the ground and the 12v lead coming from the battery? As there is no fuse for the power antenna dont bother wasting your time there.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
