The amp keeps draining my battery. it's powering off, but continues to draw power. Do I have a defective amp?

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 would get your battery tested at autozone or somewhere like that. also, are you sure your remote turn on wire is connected? i use the same amp with stock alternator and the car keeps up with it. it would be very unlikely to have a defective amp go through QC, but its a possibility.

Pull the fuse from the main power line from the battery to the amp. If the battery stops draining it's the amp. If it doesn't it's something else. I have this amp powering 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch P3 in a 2011 Camaro. I run a second battery and the amp still draws enough power to make my headlights dim. My birth sheet that came with the amp said it was 892 watts at 1ohm at 14.2 volts. If you don't have at least a 150 amp alternator and a good size battery that's in good shape. It will drain the battery faster than your alternator can charge it.

Sounds more like you have a bad alternator. Advance auto should be able to test it for free or which ever auto store you have

Are you using a wall power supply or battery? The power supply could be injecting a 60 Hz hum. Try a battery and no power supply. If there is no hum, replace the power supply. If there is still hum, check your cables, switches & pots in your guitar and then your amp. Still hum after all that, the pedal is probably bad.

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.

The sound could be your amp is on when the battery is dead. Turn off the amp when battery dies. If you have a android phone the mic will not work. Only works with iphone iPod or ipad

You havent given me much to go on, such as what kind of speakers you are connecting, what connections and cables you are using, etc. I have this same amp and it has worked flawlessly for me for well over a year. Plenty of volume, and lots of headroom. I typically run the amp at about 60% gain and then simply control the volume via the input signal. Double check all of your connections and your input source. I highly doubt the issue is with the amp.

I have the same problem it concerns me that it may blow the circuit out! Don't know if its normal or not! My solution is to leave it plugged in and to try not to have to plug it in again.

The battery died because a cable was plugged into the unit. It doesn't matter whether the connection made it to an amp. The circuit is "turned on" when you insert the 1/4 plug. Many players remove the cable between sets to conserve.

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.

Try running something not as power demanding and see if it works. Do you have a multimeter? What type/capacity battery is it? How are you charging the battery?

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.

It's a bad amp. You will have to get a new amp I had the same thing and had to get a new amp.

To get all the power from the amp I would run two battery plus the battery you already have soThat would be 3 total battery.. I have 2 of those amp an I am running 5 battery and boy it's banging

I ran a wire from my led switch to the amp that way the amp is only on when my lights are; The lights are a good reminder to shut it off. I'm not sure if the was a light or not on the amp but i know it still pulled power when speakers were "off"

Hi. All I know is that it cant run more than 4 amps reliably and the devices fan is louder than it should be.

Mine works just fine. This power cutting off thing is not normal. Return it asap!
