how many volts should the oem signal wire output?

I used it in the past to start up my basslink - I put it back in and it wasn't working. I got out the multimeter and for whatever reason I'm only getting 8v.

Is this a 7-8v signal or shouldn't I be seeing 12v?

There are several fuses in the book for "Audio" and they all looked fine too...

Miss the oompf to the tunes...

The remote wire in our cars is only 8 volts, its not a full 12.

I ran into this issue when trying to get my aftermarket amp to turn on. I had to use a different ignition source.

I've used this before w/ the basslink, but now it's not working - I had pulled it from the trunk a while back and was just looking to reinstall. I think my basslink may be dead...I'll try to test it tomorrow w/ a 12v source to the signal input and see if that helps.
