don't type in all caps, it's annoying.

Do you have a dmm, make sure your voltage isn't dropping really low, this could fry your amp and im assuming put it into protect mode.

When you turned your car on your headunit turned on and turned back off? If so then your amp most likely isn't the problem, but something electrical.

So will your headunit stay on and play music to anything not connected to your amp?

Sorry about the caps.The voltage only dropped to a little over 13 volts......When i turned my headunit on ,the LED on my amps bass remote lit up for a second then turned off.....Yes the HU plays to everything else

I think he might have meant the blue light on the bass control knob. Thats weird i am not sure? Best of luck though.

your voltage is fine, If it's not too much of a hassle try to ground it to another spot.
