[Empeg-general] Re: Turn On/Off Thump

[Hugo Fiennes]

Danger will robinson! The empeg +12v amp switched line will supply a MAXIMUM of 1A. Powering your CD head unit from this is *NOT* a good idea - it *will* probably blow the internal fuse in the empeg (which is resettable if you leave it for 10 minutes or so to cool down).

This probably accounts for your problem - the head unit is drawing so much current that the amp remote line is being dragged down and causing a "blip" which makes the amps thump.

If you want this setup, use a relay on the amp remote line to switch a permanent 12v line into the accessory power input of your CD head unit.
