Protection mode? lanzer vibe 230 will not stay out of protection mode popped a couple of fuses and now i've re done all the wiring. it's all good and i get the power i should but very quiet sound . if the amp and stereo are turned down then it will work just fine but as you start to turn anything up the power fluxuates on the power light and going up farther it clicks in to protect mode everytime any advise?

Disconnect all speaker connections and rca cables. Leave power, ground and remote wires intact. Try turning on again. If you still have a protection light your amp is faulty. Hopefully you have warranty. Double check your connections. .A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if this answer is helpful to you. Lanzar

What guage of wire are you using to power the amp? Should be 6 guage or larger. Do you have a good ground to the frame of the car (metal inside trunk area)

Is the amp new or used?

Also your speakers could be shorted inside. Use an ohm meter to check them. They should be about 4 ohms useually. Test them UNHOOKED from the system.

Try different spakers. If you cant solve the problem, the amp might be damaged.
