Ultra Linear UL-2200D Car Audio Amplifier

AMP turns ON then turns off (by 4 users)


posted by nomi on Sep 11, 2006


Hi, I have a Ultra Linear 2600D 1200 watts amp, I hooked it up exactly like my other amp was hooked up, but when I turn my cd player on, it turns on but in 5 seconds the power LED fades away, all the wires are good, all the fuses are good. I don't get the problem? My old amp works great with the same setup.
I have the same problem.

ok i have an AEM Amp that powers and always did power 2 12 inch 1400watt subs, in my previous car in an accent they worked fine, i wired them up in the civic i got now, but i had the problem where the power would turn on when first connected to the car battery, but then turn off. i checked the back of my cd player and the remote wire had a fuse in it and it was blown, so i changed it and it fixed the problem. about a week after they worked great and fine, i unpluged them one night partying so they wouldnt kill my battery, but when i went to rewire them up again the same way they were, it's doing the same problem at first, but no fuses are blown what so ever. its rather fustrating, any help would be apreciated!

Hooked up system today, like i hook up all my other systems. only with this one the amp only powers on with the radio, as soon as a switch to the CD/mp3 source the amp powers down. all wires and fuses are good. like i said amp works Fine when the radio is on, but powers down on other source settings. What do i look for?

The power antenna wire only supplies 12vdc when the radio is on. When CD or other sources are selected, the power antenna wire goes to 0vdc. The remote turn-on wire provides 12vdc whenever the head-unit is on. If your amps are powered on only when the radio is turned on, I would bet that you have the power antenna wire connected and not the remote turnon wire.

Also make sure your amp is grounded good (and the battery is grounded to the body as well if you ground the amp to the car body). The longer your power cable is the larger it needs to be, but that should not be a problem until you draw that much current. Less current equals less sound, big enough wire is important for high power.

tyars indicated that his solution for
A1500HCT Car Audio... Problem
is valid for all Ultra Linear Car...
A quick test would be to jump a wire off the power connector at the amp and connect it to the remote turn on connection.

Had that problem with an old amp turned out that the remote wire wasn't constantly sending enough power to keep the amp on. Also check your ground wire.

You may need to change out the power cable. If it's an 8 guage, switch to a 4, especially if this amp is 1200 watt RMS.
