I have a Kicker ZX400.1 amp that was running a Alpine Type R 10" 4 Ohm. I switched to the Kicker CVT 10" 2 ohm, after i finished hooking up the new sub, my amps protection circuit led came on showing Red for 3-4 seconds then green for half a second and this keeps going on and on. I checked all of my connections, they are all good and tight, don't have an ohm meter to check voltages however. Re-hooked up the alpine sub, still didnt work. I am running 1/0 guage wire to a distrubution block, then 4 guage to the amp from the distrubution block. my other amp, Phoniex Gold 6600 is working just fine.
Umm a ohm meter would help you here. Double check the wires from the sub to the amp...make sure its not shorting out. Try starting the amp without the wires on the terminals...if the protection shows up then there is a short inside the unit and it will need to be replaced/repaired.

my protection light is on, and i have already replaced this amp twice with my warrenty, and the protection is on again. Now, i am on my third amp in a year and a half, and i dont even crank the gain and bass on it, but still they keep going. In my opinion Kicker is a horrible amp, i will be letting everyone i know not to buy a kicker if this isnt fixed
