Protection mode?

[dayne]

Hey guys,

I have a kicker 400.1 class d subwoofer amp, the amp has recently been running off a 7892E alpine head unit, and was fine, not long after i took it out because i took the head unit out (nothing strange happened still was working)

Now i've gone to hook the amp back up, and it keeps going into protection mode, then flashes 'on' and back into protection mode, the amp will not power up.

Does anyone know what i would look at to see whats up? The fuse isnt gone either, its just strange that its done it all of a sudden.

Thanks

Dayne

does it do it without a load attached (Ie sub?)

[dayne]

yeah, havent attached a load too it... it should still power up however

If the amplifier goes into protection without anything hooked up to it (ie output or input) the first thing to check is the earth. It may be going into current protection if the earth is weak.

I will go give that a go, if not a few other things.

can anyone recommend a new amp for a 15" type R dvc in a ported box?? i want bigger bass now:)

Thanks,

Dayne

Check the main fuse near the inbetween the power cable to the battery(the large one), the one in my amp kit looks absolutely fine, no broken fuse or anything but.......

Still didn't work, i removed that fuse to see what happens, and it instantly worked!! So it was a faulty fuse that didn't look faulty at all lol....shitty fuse perhaps?
