blkinternational Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 my amp went into protection mode wtf is it blown? Quote
digitaloutsider Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 No.. it means something is making it go into that mode. It's overheating or shorting out. Quote
blkinternational Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 godddamn can anyone give me some sujestions on how to get this to fix Quote
slick Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 Few things u can check: gains on ur amp, make sure no wires are crossed, make sure your sub is still good, and check your ground. Most of the time i see improperly set gains or the subs wired wrong or are blown. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Doesnt matter what amp it is. Do you have a DMM? If so, get it out and start measuring voltage and ohms. Quote
blkinternational Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Posted February 27, 2007 well i tested everything its gettin 12 volts and everything i got a ground block and i still cant figure out and btw the amp is..a power acoustik LT1440/2 Quote
slick Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Measure the ohms your getting off of your subs. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 If it still does it with all the speakers disconnected, one of the output transistors is probably shorted. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 If it still does it with all the speakers disconnected, one of the output transistors is probably shorted. You dont need to disconnect the speakers/subs to test the ohms. Just make sure you have the power off. That and youve got the polarity correct Quote

That and youve got the polarity correct If it still goes into protection mode with no speakers hooked up, no reason to bother checking the ohms, the output transistors are shorted. That'd be my first instinct based on "Power Acoustik". Quote
