Mine did the same thing. Not sure if it's a good/bad thing but the amp is good. Hope this helps

please make sure your speaker RMS power is equal to the RMS power the amp puts out. I would have your installer tune the vehicle and not rely on the CD, thank you.

To be honest I have always ran the gain pretty low because I use it as a direct amp and use other pedals for higher gain. The high or mid equalizer maybe? If the volume is really high alomg with the gain there could be more hiss.

It maybe powering up and you are not recognizing it, this has happen to me a number of times. There are no bells and whistles indicating any real change when going from on selection to another (from cd to radio, etc..), make your selection and turn the volume up; if this doesn't work you may have a bigger problem.

no. i only had it for a day before i sent it back. i must of received a lemon cause i could not bring the volume up past 24 without having the amp's safety turning off my unit. not interested in getting another one though.

You probably have the AMP 120mhz set to medium or high. You should turn it off or low and see if that eliminates the problem. Joe

Yes you could! This sub will go great with anyrhing!, I honestly can say that. But I do recommend that since you are pushing a class d amp don't have the gain turned all they up until you play for at least 40 hours. But all that will be in the instruction manual.

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.

Have not used the AUx jack yet - Are you using an amp? Does it happen when you use just the CD player with a store bought cd. It could be the source you are using for the aux- Is it a phone - try and ipod as the source

To be honest with mine I was having trouble where I will hear distant vocals but music will come fine, when asked owner about the issue he replied to have an amp as well otherwise the sound will not come thru completely

The gain switch is inside the mic. You need to open the mic to adjust the gain. It's has three different set.

Check your LOC unit and make sure its connected and setup correctly. Everything on your amp should not be turned up. Put the low pass to the mid point, "mode" set to low pass, sensitivity might be 100mv-2v(check on the loc), and the level should be at the mid-point at most. Also make sure your subs are wired and connected correctly, for the appropriate power. You may want to Contact a local shop for further troubleshooting.

Mine is connected to a head unit. But I have 8 speakers. 4 to head unit and 4 to amp. I have a switch to turn on the amp via the remote power connection. I have my head units output connected to the amp. However I would think you could set the gain high and use the mp3 players volume control to adjust. However this could be dangerous. You would have to make sure the volume is turned down before starting music at each use.

Protection mode is due to improper wiring, or overheating. Improper wiring could be if the speakers attached to the amp are outputting the incorrect ohm load. Or it could be overheating or "clipping" due to a bad ground, over usage, or lack of proper ventilation.

Did you adjust the screw adjuster under the rubber plug. I typically turn it clockwise until it stops and the back off a little. I have also found that not all MP3 or IPODs put out the same supply power. I had an IPOD hooked up to one amp and the volume was allot lower than what I was used to. After much testing and adjusting I tried a different IPOD and it was back to normal.

It is not loud. When I play live and plug in to the same D.I. box that other players have been using, my guitar can't be heard. I have to tell the sound person to boost my gain considerably, then it works. It seems a preamp is necessary.

Dale, there are two possibilities. On the back of the unit there is a ground lift button. Try pushing that. Also, make sure your guitar level on the face of the unit is set to at least mid point. If that doesn't work, you'll need to send it for repair. I've had my Live 3 for over a year, and it just stopped working in the middle of a gig. Hopefully when I get it back, all problems are solved. Other than that, I think the sound and voice control are great.
