This is serious stuff! A problematic amp is no joke. Though, I did have a laugh thinking of the amp having a ‘life’ of its own. But really, it’s important to get it checked out soon.
Exactly! Sometimes the simplest fixes can save you a ton of trouble and money.
It’s also worth reflecting on how our amplifiers can reflect our love for music. But when they malfunction, they’re more of a headache than harmony. Make sure to get it checked out, buddy!
If your amp stays on when the car is off, it could be due to a miswired power connection. Check if the amp is connected directly to the battery or through the ignition.

Great starting point! I had a similar issue and discovered a faulty ignition switch. Could be worth checking that as well!
Good point! Starting with the wiring is always a solid step. You might want to use a multimeter to trace power paths.
Another thing to consider is if there’s a short circuit somewhere in your wiring. That can prevent the amp from receiving the cut-off signal when the car is off.
Have you checked if there’s a memory retention feature on your amp? Some models are designed to stay on for a while after shut-off to retain settings.

That could definitely be the case. Have you checked your user manual? Sometimes the solutions are right there.
If you’re not comfortable with electrical issues, it might be best to seek a pro. Ignoring it could lead to battery drain or worse.
Agreed! Finding a qualified technician can save you time and headaches in the long run.
Sometimes, it’s just a simple wiring mistake that a fresh pair of eyes can catch. Don’t hesitate to get help if it feels overwhelming!
It’s true! And remember, even pros can miss things sometimes. Just go step by step.
Or maybe your amp just loves the car so much it wants to stay behind after you turn it off! Just kidding, but it really is important to get this sorted.
