Soundsteam 1.800 amp rubicon protection light stays on green light chirps. How do I reset the amp?

turn on the .AC. power. The green A.C. Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from A.C. power. ckeck to ensure the power did not trip the breaker+. If you more than one and this is the only one chirping replace it, units have a life span of 5 years. remove unit an look at the expiration date. if it was me I would buy a new one. they are not expensive. home dept Lowe's or amazon

Hi,
In car audio always make sure that you are feeding your amplifier with the voltage that it requires, usually 12v to 14v (some amplifiers can do 12v to 18v). If you have a voltmeter, check your voltage reading if its reading 12v above, if it reads 11.9v below & just stays there & keeps on going down then your problem is with your voltage.
The possible causes of the protect light to turn on in a amplifier is: 1. low voltage - the amplifier is not running on its required voltage / is not getting enough voltage 2. thermal protect - too much heat, usually this occurs when an amplifier is in a tight space & the voltage keeps going down this will cause heat. 3. shortage - wire's are touching each other 4. poor ground - always make sure you ground your amplifier to your vehicles chasis
Hope this helps your concern. Have a blessed weekend.

try disconnecting one at a time each speaker till the red turns to green. One of your speakers may be bad. Amp is just telling you that its clipping and overheating due to the change in ohms of a shorted or bad speaker. Its also possible the amp is on its last leg due to heat. Heat breaks down electronics part and eventually get worse.

have a local repair facility look at the front and rear universal joints

Make sure you don't have any shorts on your speaker wires or rca cables. Unplug one at a time, the turn on power until it stays green with no protect light, then you know what input is causing the short. If you remove all speaker wires and rca wires and all you have connected is the ground, power(12volts) and remote and it still lights up red/green(in protect mode) then your problem is the amp.

check your subs disconnect them the try to power the amp up if it powers up the the subs have died and it could be a problem with that amp i suggest you get a better amp

Does it go into protect in the vehicle if you disconnect the speaker wires from the speaker terminals of the amp?

It appears that the amp is going into protect mode. To eliminate external causes, read through the following page. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Theres a short in the ground connection

The "green light flashing to the chirping" circuit may be defective.

Not a basic diagnosis--service literature and/or knowledge of each green light circuit will be needed.Possible shop repair.
