...well if it is sophisticated as all that, will not see proper load/speakers out there and will shut itself down...to save itself from self-destruction, because there isn't a proper 4 ohm load or two present there~

no man, it need to see a 4 ohm speaker load or it won't turn on (theory, am still playin' with it)~

so how do i go about doing that? ive never been taught about car audio. im trying to learn though.

if you are going to bench test this raymond. be sure that the unit is grounded. Be sure speakers are connected...the off/on button should be working fine at this point~
