My amp was working fine, then the last time i started my truck , the stereo was already on ( I don't/didn't get that "pop" in the speakers that sometimes comes with starting up with the stereo on. The amp kicks on but, all I get is tick...tick...tick... I have the amp powering the subwoofer only, my other amp powers the rest. At first I thought it was just coming through the woofer but, after closer inspection, I heard the amp ticking & the power light flashing with the ticks. I know my proble isn't with sufficient power to the amp since 1. i have a truck w/high output alternator & 2. I have a yellow top optima battery. The amp worked fine for the past couple years. All this started up after I had a new head unit installed- the only thing the installer (supposedly) did was connect new RCA cables to it- y'know, the overpriced "stereo shop" kind. Before that, I had cheap cables running to it. When I was looking it over, I noticed I only had afew strands of my remote wire actually in the harness, I fixed it thinking "Ah Ha!!- that must be it" but, the problem still remains. I play my music loud sometimes but, not constanly so, the amp hasn't been abused since I've owned it. Is there a way to reset the amp? I've kind of got the impression that the ticking was a protection feature. I've disconnected the power & reconnected. The plug fuses look fine, pulled them out & put 'em back in. I don't think it would be the glass barrel fuse to the power at the battery, because it's for the entire system. It were blown, I wouldn't have any sound/no amps would even power up.
