HELLO THESE AMPS ARE FAMOUS FOR DRAWING ALOT OF CURRENT AND IF YOU PLAY THE AMP WHILE THE VOLTAGE DROPS FOR TOO LONG YOU CAN FRY THE AMP BUT AS FAR AS THE SECOND AMP NOT WORKING AS WELL YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE RCA'S OR THE OUTPUT ON YOUR HEAD UNIT WENT BAD OR YOU HAVE A BAD GROUND CHECK ALL FUSES THEN CHECK THE GROUND WIRE TO MAKE SURE ALL PAINT HAS BEEN SCRATCHED OFF AND THAT IT IS CONTACTING BARE METAL THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS FIND A FRIEND THAT HAS THEIR WIRES RAN AND HOOK UP YOUR AMP ON THEIR SUB IF IT WORKS THEN TRY IT WITH YOUR SUB IF IT GOES INTO PROTECT THEN YOU MAY HAVE A BLOWN SUB CAUSING THE SHORT HOPE THIS HELPS THERE ARE ALOT OF OPTIONS START WITH THE WITH GROUND AND GO FROM THERE
Well, sounds like you have an internal damage since it smokes, if it smokes as soon as it kicks on, and blowing the fuse right away, I would have it fixed. But my guess would be something with the ground that is making this happen, or some how your power is grounding on the amp. When ever smoke comes into play, thats never good any way at this point you gotta admitt that thiers internal damage.. blowing fuses can also be cause by over working your amp. along with the sub load at 1 ohm make sure your amp can do the same.. hope this was helpful in some way
yes you have a internal fault of the amp. the circuit that puts it into
safe mode is bad and that is a very small chip on the board know as a
op amp. needs to be repaired.
it maybe fixable. the problem is that when you find what is burnt or messed up, you replace it. after that you need to find out why it burnt or messed up. i wouldnt recomend trying to fix it your self unless you wanna chance it. but if you take it to a technician that can fix it the will be able to tell you if it can be repaired. also check your power and ground wires. make sure youre getting 12 volts to the amp. check your subs and make sure they are good. a bad sub will put a amp into protect. good luck.
Try removing the caps out of the system. It sounds like they have gone out. What is happening is the caps start storing up the power like they are supposed to do but then they are being discharged as soon as they are full. Bypass the caps and that should correct your problem.
Disconnect all speaker wires from the speaker terminals of the amp and disconnect signal cables from the amp. If it powers up normally, the wiring and speakers need to be checked. If it still shuts down, the amp likely has blown output transistors.
This indicates a possibility of a power supply issue, you may have to open up the unit and take voltage measurements to determine if the voltages are correct. In order to do this you will need a schematic diagram of the unit. Once you have the schematic you will be abor to tell which voltages are legitimate. I hope this helps
