i think i broke it. it has 2 stages of on, a red light, then a green light. i think the red light means protect, as thats whats written underneath it. when power is on an it only stays on the red light, and doesnt fully turn on with the green light.

anyone know the problems?

Check your earth to the body, also check if the power and earth wires on the amp are properly connected.

First things first, check your power, earth and remote wires, then replace the fuse on your amp. Then check ALL your speaker wiring and make sure it's not cracked, broken or otherwise shorting anywhere. My money's on your speaker wires shorting the amp out however. Hope this helps. Cheers Smile

are you running terminals on the ends of the wire or just fat wire to the amp?? if just wire you could have a stray tread going to the body of the amp and shorting it out... maybe clean up your power wires....

Although it is working now, take some time to work out what was wrong. Something you changed has fixed the fault.
Next time you may not be so lucky.

A cooked audio unit or a burning car.... endless opportunities!!
