JL 300/V2 shuts down

Hi,
I have x3 JL 300/V2 which all suffer from the same fault- shuts down as the input sense is increased. Are the ment to do that??? Do they have some kind of protection circuit that stops the user increasing the input too far???

You may have a weak power supply, check for proper ground ( clean contacts with a tight bolt to chassis), or too low speaker impedance because too many speakers or shorted speakers or leads to ground.

    To test Power Amplifiers of that size, you need at least 30 Amps Current, 50 will be ideal, otherwise the system will shut down at high volume.

I recently got a JL 300 amp and at first the sub stopped working, then it came back on during the song I was playing. Later on it shut off all together. I don't know what the problem is..

Does it only happen on that channel. It is a 4 channel amp so make sure the other channels are working. It sounds like an RCA input prob. Try the sub on the other channel. if it works then it would be your RCA input needs resoldered.

Sleuthing a 300/4 low-ohm issue. 300/4 amp history: unknown. just connected today whole system yesterday/today: head unit, 300/4(to 4 polk 6.5" component speakers brand new) 1000/1 (4-W3's),...

Are you sure you getting enough power to push everything. I have seen when the voltage is too low coming in, the amps will shut down so they don't overheat. Once they've cooled off and the volume level is lowered they will kick in again. Low voltage and a heavy draw will create massive amounts of heat.

Have a JL audio slash 500 that isnt putting out any audio... i know the sub is fine. but i noticed the RCA inputs are loose and dont hold the cables very tight.. is this my problem and what can i do to...

Yes it possible that the inputs have been damaged on the circuit board of the amp. If the amp has hi level inputs you could try running a speaker wire input to it and see if it works. You might try another pair of rca cables to.

I have installed a 12" w7 and jl 1000/1 v2 amp. I was useing the bass knob untill i found out on the jl website that its not needed for this set up. I was haveing problems blowing 80 amp fuses so i went...

It is NEVER a good idea to increase the values of fuses . Chances are you have internally damaged your amp. The next time you are faced with this problem you need to find out why your amp is blowing fuses and not keep changing the value of the fuse.

Reciever shuts down by itself

Hi, i have similar/same problem, on initial power on, you have after 3 -4 secs an audible click from inside and all is good... if you then try to change inputs either via front panel and or remote, the unit switches off. if you change input prior to audible click, ie within 2-3 secs of power on , all is good and amp works fine, until you change input etc...very painful fault.. i thought it is sensing /checking the speaker outputs and detecting short etc ,so powering off to protect.. but then just my thought, i suspect something else, if anyone has the fix and can repair , please let me know.

My sound cuts out and the power light blinks consistantly about 3 times and now i have no bass and the power light comes on about every 20 seconds and then shuts off

the amp it going into protect mode because there is an internal fault with the amp. it will need to be repaired. best this to do is find a repair shop and let them handle it good luck man
