this amp was tested on YouTube to put out 197watts @ 198watts it went into protection, tested by a certified car audio specialist,why?

It all depends on the load. Peak to peak may reach 1500 watts instantaneously, however true rms power may appear very low.

Not exactly sure what you're asking. If an amp is tested for true wattage, 197 @ 198 is an inaccurate number to begin with. To get an RMS reading, you take the actual wattage and divide that by 2 and you'll get your RMS. If I were to guess why your particular amp (or the amp shown on the video) went into protection mode, either the ground was bad, the internal processor was bad, it was a poorly constructed amp or the "certified car audio specialist" only plugs top of the line amps on his channel. It's also impossible to fully answer your question without seeing the video myself

You need to know how many watts you will be pushing per channel and the resistance (ohms). Are you running at 4 ohms per channel? If so, that will fry these puppies. But, it shouldn't damage your amp, so you can always try it if you have the cash to spare. If I were you, I would contact the manufacturer.

I'm not 100% sure, this was my first time trying this out with my Bass speaker 1600w amp. But so far all is well using this productive in my car for the past couple months.

There is a fuse built into the amp, however, you still need to put a fuse in the line to protect the powered wire.

It can't hurt to test but I drive these with a dedicated 200w amp. If the Preamp is putting out around 1w it likely won't respond.

If you use that amplifier, you will destroy these subs. The box is rated 300RMS/600Peak.

Check ohm of speakers, make sure your ground wire from the amp is well grounded, it must be touching bare metal on the frame of the car.

Mine was new in a factory sealed carton,USA verson.Seller sent me a written guarantee after I asked if the product was under full factory warrantee. It would have to be returned through them. Hope this helps.Its a great amp. I Love it. Hopefully I will never have to return it

Does the amp work and power your subs? Trace your wires and make sure everything is in the right place. Do not turn the knob to full on yet cause it can't break easy, put it halfway or under half. And turn your car over and see if it works? If not send me another question and ill look at mine specifically

This Amp will put out 480 watts RMS power on a 4 Ohm cabinet load. It is possible that the amplifier could blow the speakers that were used but there are MANY more factors that could cause this to happen. Thanks Kam.

An in line 10 gauge fuse which is like 30 amps. Don't but boss audio it's garbage and lies about all their products.

there isatape monitor and a loadness..but don't uses this with a plyle pro power amp ..there seems to be a voltage mismatch ..and you turn the volume al the way to the right tom get volume

Are you saying the fuse blows? If so be sure your speakers total resistance is not lower than the rated value of the amp.

I would get an amp designed for wet conditions. This one is not waterproof.

There are very few audio amplifiers with output bipolar stages out there that can handle such a load. This is not one of them. Some particular MOSFET amps can. The heat sinks would get hot quickly when driven even at a low volume level. I'm not aware of any direct short circuit output protection for this amp; however the thermal protection may kick in for a 2-ohm load for example. There are better ways to achieve output power if that's what you seek.

Please watch multiple youtube videos on how to install a car amp. Your car WILL catch on fire if you fail to install the amp power line and fuse incorrectly. I wish I could expound on this topic, but it is not the right forum to cover how to safely install an amp. I would hate to see your any car burn to the ground and insurance not pay your claim because of you failed to install the amp correctly.

I returned the amp it went into protection mode.... My advice go with hifonics ju
