amp turn-on from bose has power even with radio off?
I got my sub/amp installed, very happy with it but I noticed one thing.
The white lead (from the Bose premium amp), which is what I used for MY amp turn-on has .36 volts in the off position. It wont power the amp or anything, but isnt it odd to have any power at all? Im just wondering after a while if that could drain the battery?
Is this normal, I never though to check anyother source, I just thought this was a perfect place to tap cause it works with the radio perfectly.
any input? Thanks...

Probably just some residual voltage left in a capacitor somewhere on the Bose/sub amp
I bet if you disconnect th car battery you'd still get the reading. Try measuring it after a few hours with the radio off.
Just because the voltage is there doesn't mean it is draining any current, which is what drains the battery.

thanks for the reply....glad to hear your idea of the reading, sorta makes sense now that I think about it!
Funny thing....today I went to start my RX8 after taking the stero out friday - and that battery is dead, lol.....car wont start, what a POS.
Thanks again!
