I got a MK7.5 MIBII GTI, I had an after market amp and sub, and my xplod amp decided to die. The aftermarket JBL club 5501 that I got has the signal sensing auto turn on feature, so the amp is on regardless of the remote wire signal. UGH!
After I installed the JBL amp, I turn off the car and get out, then the amp turns on and the sub gives this load noise! for some reason it's sensing a signal coming from the head unit and it powers on and amplifies it.. I unplugged the RCA pair, and it powered off shortly after.
I don't know if that signal would have eventually died after a minute or two, but it's loud and annoying enough that it makes this an unsustainable situation.
Any ideas on why the wires to the factory sub would have a signal after turning off the car? and any potential ways around it?
