you should also check that it has been connected up the right way. Check all the wiring, especially the Ground and remote. 8/10 times its the wiring which is causing the protection light to come on |

how are you wirering it? Whats the voice coils on the subs? I assume you have 4 ohm dvc subs, each wired down to a 2 ohm load, bridged on each channel?
Output 100 x 4 at 4 ohms RMS
125 x 4 at 2 ohms RMS
250 x 2 Watts at Mono
My quess is that you are running it too low. Try running 1 sub to channel 1, and 1 sub to channel 2. Leave 3-4 empty. does it come on? If so, then that amp can only be bridged at 4 ohms. Also check the ground connections. if its lighting, its got power. |
