March 2, 201015 yr Open up the amp and take pictures and post them on here! Somebody may be able to help you more.Make sure you don't have a short somewhere in the B+ or in the speakers to the amp. 8 ohms should not be a problem.
March 2, 201015 yr If you have a warranty on the amp, do not open it up. Send it in for repair. However, if your warranty has run out or you bought it used, go ahead and open it up.I've had three Crossfire amps blow on me for no apparent reason so this wouldn't really surprise me.
March 3, 201015 yr Crossfire puts a nice little sticker on one of the screws you need to remove the amp cover, take if off and your warranty is void. The XP amplifiers have a 7 year warranty so take advantage of it.

March 3, 201015 yr theres a little blackend spot but that was there when i got the amp. it was used but i bought it from a crossfire dealer. the guy sent it to crossfire and the repaired everything but idk what that was....Fixed.
March 3, 201015 yr Author Congratulations, your warranty is void now.i doubt i have a warranty the sticker was already half peeled off and the guy i bought it from never said anything
March 3, 201015 yr Author theres a little blackend spot but that was there when i got the amp. it was used but i bought it from a crossfire dealer. the guy sent it to crossfire and the repaired everything but idk what that was....Fixed.thank you
March 4, 201015 yr Try installing the amp in a friend's install to see if it works there, and also try a new amp with your wires. But it does sound like an amplifier problem.

But it does sound like an amplifier problem.yeah well i cant really do either of those ideas. no one around here has even herd of an amp being more than 1000watts and haveing 2 power and 2 grounds
March 5, 201015 yr You're not going to play it full blast, you just want to see if it turns on and stays on. a 12 gauge power wire would even be enough.
