I have a feeling you are using the wrong set of female rca terminals on tbe amp. There are 3 sets. Use the first ones on the far LEFT marked INPUT. Hope this helped.

What kind of head unit do you have? And do you hookup the Rcas to an input or output setting? They should be hooked up into an input setting and fit securely in the input slots, otherwise, if they are loose they won't work. Sometimes though, the amp has bad terminals for rcas and needs to be replaced. As far as the head unit is concerned, if you have also a bad preamp output on the head unit can also cause this.

I had the same problem with mine. Went through 3 sets in a week and after a week and a half the amp went up in smoke. Exchanged it for a massive audio n4 and couldn't be happier.

Nope. My BRX2400.1D have been working just fine. Sorry to hear you're going through this. Probably just a bad apple out of the batch

Done this many times-no issues. It's really, really an exceptional amp. Just realize it's only 30 watts, though, so the room size it fills is small. Running it to a board and larger system has never been a problem. Mine looks like heck (having survived many, many gigs), but sounds as good as new.

I had the same problem but corrected it by unplugging the RCA jacks and then reinserting them firmly. It may have been that the jacks were not all the way into the socket. Hope this is helpful.

I have not had any problems with the amp. It can push 1200 watt kickers pretty well. I would think if the amp is cutting of like another reviewer said I would send it back for a replacement.

Hi! It's hard to answer... but you can do some troubleshooting. for example, if you change the channel (left and roght) behind the player and the buzz change to other speaker, probably the problem is in your player.. if the buzz don't change maybe your amplifier is the problem. Try to reset all the connections... try to use some electrical contact cleanner (with alchool). check the cables in the arm and needle, but be carefull there because it is very fragile. good luck!

I would run a separate power wire from the battery to the amp. Make sure that it is fused so that it is protected. The power to the sub is separate from RCAs. RCA brings sound to the amp...not power.

Hey bro I had to do the same with my amplifier go to power acoustic.com and go to customer service and send an email about your problem with the product they will email you back with further information I had to send the amp and 25 dollars into them and they fixed my amplifier! Great amp great sound quality and overall great customer service. Good luck bro! Happy Holidays

I initially thought it did, but I found it did not. I used the speaker inputs instead of the RCA connections. I thought I read where if you use the speaker inputs, they would turn on the amp. I tried that but it would not turn on. I had to run a separate remote turn on from my fuse panel.

I found out it's best to use RCA to RCA. The AMP is a great bargain for the price.

I currently am having trouble with the amplifier as well. I don't know where you would get replacements. I would (and will) be calling the company.

You may not have connected the "remote on" wire, which is a small gauge wire connected alongside the rca cables. The remote wire needs to be spliced with the receiver (usually a blue wire thats probably connected to your receiver's wire harness). Google it to be sure. Lots of tutorials. Oh, and make sure to ground it; you can ruin a lot of electrical components if u don't, including your new amp. Good luck

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

I had that problem twice, once when I purchased the product and then again after a bad (18 hour) power outage. For both occasions I called the RCA company customer service # that I found on the box. They were very helpful and after that I had no problems.

I had this issue at first. But it had to do with the wiring. The little wire that is neither your power or speaker wires. Is what they call an RMA I belive. He is the one that tells the amp on and off with the car. If it's wired incorrectly from the car it won't turn the amp off. And drain the battery. So either check that, or have a shop instal it again for you. That's what I did and had no issues there after. It's definitely not the amp though. Amos are stupid.. You give them power.. They work. You take it away they stop. So it's probably in your wiring.

I purchased this unit and now am on my second replacement - rca is hard to work with. I would not recommend this unit. Check out the reviews on Amazon.

i have my four 6x9's on sepereate channels and run the rca's to the radio. sounds great. if you hear a whining sound, turn your settings on your amp down til it goes away and they will sound perfect with great bass. took me a while to find that lol, thought i crossed some wires.

I completely disassembled my amp and used it for a juke box restoration. I installed a preamp for the 45 record portion of it and grounded it to the metal frame of the juke box and used rca jacks to connect to this amp with no problems or hum. Now I also installed an 1/8" input jack so that I could plug in an I pod and that did not work out so well. Lots of hum. I believe this amp uses an isolated ground which is why the rca jacks worked for the preamp but the metal casing on the 1/8" jack for the ipod grounded to the frame did not work. As soon as I replaced it with a plastic cased one the hum went away.
