well jus like the title says ..my amp is going into protect.. i was doing some runs on the TL and it suddenly started going into protect...i checked the speaker and it reads 2.3 ohms and is a d4 on parallel....what could it be??

what kind of electrical system?

2 batts one of em an optima g31, 110amp alt...voltage doesnt go bellow 13.1

Hmmm. Is it still in protection or does it come out?

it comes out for 2 secs and then it goes back into protect

Have you tried disconnecting the amp from power for a few minutes?

well i think it has to do with the radio...i have a question...if the remote wire touches metal could it go into protection??

Yes.

Yes.

What he said.....

okkk gotta check the remote cable on THE radio i think its loose...it weird that it is the only amp that goes into protect...the other amp doesnt...

Unhook the RCAs and the speaker wires and see if it goes into protection.

If so, then check the remote lead.

Why do you suspect the remote lead touched metal?

well its not the remote checket it ands it doesnt toch metal or anything...it only seems to go into protect in the 52 hz tone...took the rcas of and it stayed out of protect but put them in again and it went into protect ocassionally

do you have youe bass boost on.... on the amp or youe head unit?

nope i only have loudness on.

Sounds like an RCA related issue.

What head unit do you have?

RCA cable type? Pictures of them?

The RCA cable could also be pinched somewhere and shorting together, try another cable.

my HU is a piece of crap blaupunkt lol ill see if i find pics of it but im gonna throw it in the garbage soon and gonna get an alpine one...also the rca's are dblink...ill take a picture of em tomorrow if i can but let me get you some pics of the HU

those are my rcas supposedly they are competition grade or some chit like that lol but w/e i think it might be the radio since it stopped working on saturday and it came back 2 life yesterday :S

Those look like "walmart grade", not competition grade.

where are you located?

where are you located?

hes in purto rico if he was in ohio Id offer to take a look at it this weekend once my Oscope gets here

I'm guessing if your HU is malfunctioning that has something to do with it

ohh ok i think i got a 200 y/o o-scope ill see if i can get anything...also can it be the preamp?? i have a cheap boss that im taking ot when i buy the new radio..

Could be any of those things. The 1500D will protect from issues on the RCA input as well as many other things to prevent itself from being damaged.

okk i was getting a normal sine wave on the o-scope and the signal wasnt even clipping at the vol where the amp goes to protect but its getting really weird cuz when i was testing w/ the o-scope the amp kept going into protect after i finished testing i hooked the same rcas and it worked fine...
