Posted July 16, 201015 yr Made a video to show everyone whats its doing. The amp has been hooked up and running fine for a couple weeks now. Out of no where the amp starts cutting in and out today. When it does, it goes into protect mode. I checked every wire from the battery back and all are good. I even pulled the headunit and checked all connections there too. So here is what happens:Amp cutting in and out while I was running errands today. So I turned the radio off until I go home. When I got home I pulled out all my tools and DMM and checked everything. All is well. But now, the amp is on, not in protect mode, and I get zero output to the subs. Yes, I checked the subs wiring too. I noticed when I lightly tap on the amps case it goes into protect mode. So I pulled the amp out and opened the case thinking maybe a loose wire. Nope. No wires at all, everything goes straight to the board. Everything looked fine to me too. I didn't see anything bent or broken. Hooked it back up and its still doing the same thing. Finally, as you will see in the video, after a few firmer taps it stays in protect mode and pushes out little power surges to the subs making them move just a hair. You should be able to hear that in the video. If you look when it goes and stays in protect mode near the end you can see a little spark shoot out near the speaker wires at 2:27. There were no loose wire strands sticking out at all to cause a short.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opTmJhHKQ70
July 16, 201015 yr I agree, looks like it's shot. I'd recommend getting a hold of db-r and seeing if he can repair it for you, unless it's still under warranty.

And I am not sure who db-r is? I tried searching for that user name and came up blank.
July 16, 201015 yr Author www.db-r.comThis should get you rolling.Thanks! Sent them a service ticket to see if they would try and fix it! Man this sucks! Yet again, there goes my money I've been saving for my front stage! What can you do though right!
