No light on Alpine MRP-M1000

hope this helps.

caution

About Power supply wires (MRP-M1000 only)

• 21mm2 is the minimum power and ground cable size

that should be used to connect this amplifier. The

length of these cables should not exceed 1m to assure

safe operation.

• If the length of the power and ground cables exceed

1m, or if you connect more than one amplifier, a distribution

block should be used with 33mm2 or 53mm2

power and ground cables depending on the length

necessary. Ensure that you install a correctly-rated

in-line fuse on the power cable near the battery positive

post.

Where is your subwoofer gain set? Also, what crossover frequency do you have the sub set to?

MAKE SURE FUSES ARE GOOD AND YOUR RCA JACKS ARE GOOD AND CONNECTED,CHECK GAIN LEVEL BRING IT UP HALFWAY AND COSSOVER IS DOWN

The problem could either be the amp over-heating or the subs could be over-heating as well. One of my friends owns an Alpine MRD-M1005, and one day they decided to clean it inside and out and realized they had some burnt spots on the circuit board, although they never smelt anything burning, and the amp still works fine.... As for the lights dimming you should probably buy a power Capacitor, atleast a 1 Farad or larger.

Hope this helps.

Hook up the MRP-M350 to one 4-ohm sub, and you get 200 watts RMS; connect a second 4-ohm subwoofer and the power output increases to 350 watts! All that juice means that your subs won't just be loud, they'll sound clean and thumping.

If your not getting any sound make sure the sub input is in the right spot on you radio. if not check the speaker wires on your harness

hook the positive to positive and negative to negative on both subs then run wire to the amp the amp will see a 2ohm load

AMPS NEED AIR TO BREATH, AS THEY GET VERY HOT WHEN IN USE, DOES THIS AMP HAVE A COOLING FAN? IF SO CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS WORKING

I dont know if this will help you but start at the deck and make sure that the outputs(RCA) arent crossed over to highpass and do the same at the amp make sure that its set for lowpass- set half gain -bass boost half gain- subsonic minimum - If that doesnt help try using an i pod with an adaptor that you can play it right into the amp this is to see if you are getting signal from the deck to the amp if it doesnt work with an i pod or mp3 plugged directly into it then you may have got you a blown amp going on- good luck with that

You need a bigger amp or smaller speakers.
The speakers are pulling more power than the amp can supply.
