As soon as i turn on the amp it goes into protect mode like 2 seconds later. thats with the subs disconnected and even the rca's disconnected. what could be the problem? is the amp considered burned out? Ive tried doing the reset where you just put ground then connect the positive and it makes a spark. but it doesnt solve the problem. also i have tried it in other cars and it does the same thing. i have rewired grounds and upgraded cables but no luck. any advice or tips?

Hello beaugarcia26,
Unless the amp itself is defective, there's a short or ground somewhere.
First disconnect the speaker wires and RCA (or high level) inputs, leaving just ground, remote turn-on and power leads connected. Then see if the amp powers up normally. If it doesn't check the ground with a multimeter and make sure it is good. If the amp powers up normally, check the speaker, speaker wires and inputs for shorts or grounds.
Hope this helps.

there might be a losse hair in where the amp connects to all the wireing just take them all off and make shorter connectionts and screw it in tight

you should not have any spark from your ground...you may want check and make sure your ground is properly installed. Try wiring the amp without the cap and see if that works.

Try reversed the connection, hang the positive supply together with the ground.
Then connect the ground first before the positive supply.
If the spark is still there then you are confirmed that you have a short on the unit.
Fixing is not DIY because it is quite technical.
I rather suggest to send it to a repair shop to isolate the shorted parts.
A series of test will be perform to locate where the short come from.
Please rate my advice.
Thanks for using fixya...
