Well, the empeg is *supposed* to completely shutdown when the ignition is switched off. So what's new here?

I'm sure it was configured to have a nonzero timeout, and he was used to it going into standby. I didn't verify this with him, but the "pop" problem coinciding with this tells me it's not the standby issue. Pop means the player didn't shut down gracefully, and that the power to the player was lost before the amp remote line was shut off.

I wonder if (on a properly wired and nonfuseblown player) the ignition timeout were zero, if it would still make the amp remote line shut off (and therefore prevent the pop) before doing a full power off. I'll bet it does.
