My MTX 600xd amp light won't even come on. ... Red light comes on. ... one.. and some times it goes into protection... once I turn the car off...
Oh dear! Protection system has detected a short in the main power amp. The water has caused a great deal of damage. You will have to replace all the parts that have been damaged. Your nose will lead you to where to look.
From the description your audio output transistors or ic's have a short causing a load problem activating the protection circuit. Turn volume right down, power off, remove speaker wires from the back, power on! if protection kicks on it is the audio outputs in the receiver, if not! check speaker wires for shorts, hook back one at a time until defective wire or speaker is located. The audio outputs will need to be addressed by a technician since there is complexity involved.
Hi the protection light comes on when there is a problem within the amps. circuitry. Generally speaking the protection light normally comes on when powered up while the amp checks all of its voltage rails so that they all lie within a specific tolerance, when all have been verified to be in spec. then the protect light goes out & the power light comes on. If the protect light stays on then a fault exists within it's circuitry. Cheers, acbva.
Disconnect any speaker from the amp then re-power. If it still goes into protection, your amp needs serviced. Shorted output transistors most likely. And check your Sub for shorts as well. If the voicecoil on the sub is burnt, it will short any amp. If you can use a meter, check the resistance on the sub. Hope this helps
yes make sure there both connected properly, check the fuses, the protection light usualy comes on when there is too much power and the amp protects itself from blowing
Try disconnecting everything but the power connections. If the protection light still comes on, then there's a problem in the amp. If it goes out, then there's a problem elsewhere. In that case, hook up one speaker cable at a time and power on. If the protection light comes on, then either that speaker is bad, or you've got too many speakers connected to that one amp output. Too many speakers connected together can cause an overload and trigger the protection circuitry, or worse, blow out something out.
Hope this helps, and please rate my advice.
Thank you, and good luck!!
