Red light will not go off on my daul amp 800 watt I have it hooked up to a 1600 watt compacitor

SOURCE: brutus 1600 watt hi fonics amp

i have had the same problem with one of my amps that was given to me by a friend and one of the channels were blown. Blowing a channel can cause the protect light to stay on.

Sounds like you shorted out the main power wire somewhere and killed the amp. Is the amp on the fuse intact or blown? Do you have 12 volts at the amp? check you connections and see if it helps.

Try this first:

Amp in Protect - Troubleshooting

If nothing there helps, you need to return it to the seller if it's under warranty.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

SOURCE: car amp blows 12 volt wire fuse

the wire from your battery is blowing fuses? and you are using 20-30 A fuses? mine has a 100A fuse..look into getting new wire plus my wire is 4 gauge.., 1600 watts is too powerful for a 12 g wire and a 30 A fuse

SOURCE: can a 1000 watt amp run 800 rms subs and best wiring option

yeah it will run them but you won't get your full power because the rms for your subs is high. try bridging them with some 8 gauge wire, and of you got a crossover it will help you out alot
