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

I don't know why mine failed, but I dont think it was due to water. I think I would of noticed excessive water puddling under my feet. One piece of advice I have to offer is get some quote from a local car audio/video shop if your worried about getting your hands into that tight tight spot. I bought the amp on amazon and a local shop installed it for $35 dollars. That $35 was the best money I've spent in a while

Serge, are you sure you are connecting the stereo side of your cable to a stereo system or instrument? If it is connected to a monaural device, the red lead may be short-circuited and your amp may be at risk!

If you plugged the unit into the wall, hit the power switch and the unit doesn't even light up, there is only two possible problems. You have a bad outlet or your amp needs to be returned.

If it keeps going Into protection.. there os an issue with the wiring.. make sure no positives and negatives are crossed.. and also that the speakers are wired up correctly for the ohm load to the amp...

You would need to make sure you're able to use your amps power section alone. You can find out by looking at the back of the amp/head itself. Otherwise you could try running it through the amps clean channel.

Check all your inputs at the amp and at your head unit if they are good it's a bad amp. Ask for a replacement. Or get your money back. I've had two of these and the first one was Doa the second worked but was absolutely terrible. Find something better.

I don't know how did you plug in the speakers? It has 7 separate amps! Just be careful about its high-current capability, thats causing the over heating!

Hi, not quite sure, my question to you is how old is your speaker wire...what gauge..any green anywhere on those conductors..did you do any splices anywhere even the signal wire for a double sub setup has to be done right double check every input jack for wear at the strain reliefs. Hookup one set at time and test at each add

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.

Eric, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I have this unit on a bike trailer for synchronized to music Xmas lights. I finially got the bike set up yesterday to check it out but couldn't get the unit to work. I installed my old amp to get the music to work. From what I remember last year, the amp starts playing music when power is turned on if the power switch is already turned on. - Mike

I would check to see if your tube is not inserted all the way. The amp should work within a few seconds of turn on. The tube won't get warm for a few minutes, but the amp will sound fine moments after start.

Never turn it up to 100%, it will be boomy and heat the amp up. I would think these things have smart protection circuitry (besides their fuse) in them to prevent catastrophic failure. Just adjust it starting mid way ~50% and go higher until you find that sweet spot and only you know what kind of sound you are looking for. Remember to adjust the frequency to take some of the boom out of it too. You should have one sweet sounding sub when done correctly.

Sure, that's the way i have it. Sounds great. Just check your amp power before, but normally it would work just fine.

I think that you may have one of the switches on the back set to "auto". In this mode you can leave the amp powered on, and it will detect an input signal, and power up your output stages. If you change the switch to "normal" you must turn the amplifier on and off by pushing the power button. In "normal" mode, it should play soft passages, and fade outs as expected.

I would check to make sure that there is a 9-volt battery in your guitar (by the equalizer). If there is, I would check to make sure that it is good. If not replace it and then it should start working through your amp.
