1200 watt legacy amp not working right

Ok, my amp & sub's were working fine then i was trying to hook up some 6" neon lights to my amp & i unscrewed the ground,remote & power wires & then hooked them back up. Then my amp would cut in & out at a high level of volume or just not work at all at low volumes. So i unhooked the remote wire & cut a piece of it off & connected it directly from the remote wire hookup on the amp to the power wire & it worked fine, though it stays on all the time. So does anyone know what the problem is & is there anyway to fix it?

I recently hooked up a new kenwood deck put new front and back speakers in. I hooked up a 1200 watt hifonics amp about to plug in my 2 15 inch rockford fosgate speakers rfz1412 and they dont play. All the...

Ok, so I am assuming that the other speakers are working, and it's just the subs that are not, right? If this is the case, start from the source. Make sure the RCA cables are plugged in and not crimped anywhere. Then to the amp, Did you check the gain levels on your amp. That is the knob next to the RCA input on the amp. Also, check the wiring to the subs. Make sure all your + are goinig to +. Sometimes in the "heat" of a good install, you just lose track of those things. When in doubt. Undo all your wiring and start from scratch. Good luck.

2 12" subs + 600W amp. Turn on, goes boom once, then red light

Is your gain all the way up? If it done this before, sounds like your over working the amp. Make sure your subs ohm load is capable with the amp load to. If they are 1 ohm and your amp is only 2 ohm stable, it would beat for a lil bit then go into protection mode to. Check your wires too.

I have two 1200 watt sony amps bridged red light on in one why?

If you are certain speaker isnt blown and you have correct phase wiring and so forth you have whats called a solder jump which is internal repair by dealer only! buy a new amp at dealer wholesale price here cheaper than having it repaired unless under warranty go here for wholesale pricing on almost everything audio wise:

No power to subs

I think the blue wire is a standby "on" to be hooked to separate or system switch. Without knowing how you have system wired, I can' offer much. A bit of caution; having a thousand watt amp hooked to 6x9 dooms their fate

High distortion

The head unit may be rated at 200 watts but it cannot produce more than ~20 watts of real power per channel. There's no way that it can drive the high end speakers to a level that will be needed to compete with the subs on a 1000 watt amplifier.
