the amplifier has 3 things that I can set - mode for 2CH; Crossover Freq at Flat or LPF (Low Pass Filter) and the relevant Hertz 75 or 100. All options have been tried.
Have you set the bridge mode correctly?
this is labelled on the stereo and as mode is set to 2Ch I have connected the wires as per the instruction manual and the labelling
Has the 'remote' wire been connected to the correct o/p of the head unit?
yes as the amp turns itself on and off with the stereo
Is you + lead connected straight to the battery and is the connection a nice clean one?
yes it is, fresh install and wires are clean and perfect
Is the ground terminal to the battery nice and tight, and is the body earth nice and clean?
yes it is. Redid connection this morning to ensure it was
I don't mean to ask silly questions, but often the fault with car audio installations is people missing a simple step in setup rather than a component fault from new.
as stated the amp was working it just stopped this morning. The sub is just popping
Do you have a multi meter???If not then try the following.
Unplug your RCA leads and disconnect your speaker from the amplifier terminals.
Remove your fuses again and walk away for about 10 minutes.
Place your fuses back in and check the protection light.
If it's not on then turn the ignition switch to accessories and observe the protection light.
If it's still not on then check your sub wiring to make sure it isn't shorted to ground, and if it's ok then connect your speaker wires to the amp in the correct position.
Check the indicator light.
If it's not on then connect your RCA leads (make sure your volume is set to low on the headunit!) and check the indicator light again.
