Amplifier switches off as soon as I switch to CD........ Only works FM.\

Please help if you can,

Answer 1

Make sure that you are using the remote wire and not the power antenna wire. If, you have both.

If you don't have both you will have to splice into a switched 12 volt line. Like the ignition wire on the radio.  

Answer 2

Cause thats just the way it is sorry

Answer 3

Your amplifier's remote wire is probably connected to a blue wire behind the radio.  That's a power antenna output.  Switch it to the blue/white wire instead.

Answer 4

Your CD player probably has 2 or 3 rca inputs.

Your amp might be hooked into the wrong inputs.

Try changing them up.
