I need help with amp and speaker.. - D-series.org

xsubxwooferx · 02-19-2010, 04:34 AM

Before 2 days ago everything was perfect. Then one day protection light comes on after 5 secs after starting the car so I know the speaker is not blown. Now I got it to where the protection light doesnt come on at all, just the green light, but my speaker isnt working. What should I do?

What are you working with, so we know if its crap or not. IMO some amps just aren't worth fixing.

Yea, unfortunately, its more than likely blown... whats your setup and how are you running it?

I say you bang your amp with no protection light

or replace her with a new one.

I haz 6k rms amp?

Its a legacy amp. I got the power green light to come on and stay without protection light coming on but for some reason my speakers will not come on. I even tried another speaker that wasnt hooked to it before and it didnt work.

Ps. I also have red and black plug ins on the low input part on the amp and into sub part on cd player. If those are bad could that be the problem?

RCA's could be disconnected/bad, Inputs on the amp/Outputs on the HU could be bad, or the amp could just be a turd in general?

okay...so lets start the diagnostic process...

1. try a different speaker...
2. check RCAs...
3. check deck output...
4. replace amp with different one to test...

spoonsol · 02-28-2010, 08:31 PM

id check fuses first. did you type correctly when you said 6,000 watt RMS?!

Had a similar thing happen in my friends car, the subs seemed to not turn on at all, we checked everything (there was power to the amp). Turned out that when you blast the volume you can feel or slightly hear them workin, and we went and got a brand new amp and popped it in, loud as balls in no time!!!

If you do all this diagnostic stuff and its still not working, My advice is to
1) go buy a new amp
or
2) take your car to someone who knows what they're doing...theres only so much we can do over the computer, you really need someone to check it out in person...good luck!

xsubxwooferx · 03-02-2010, 05:40 AM

Alright well now I got it to where the green light comes on with 25 fuse and stays on with no protection light. I tried a different speaker and it didnt work neither. I also opened amp to see if I burned or destroyed anything even by the speaker hookup and everything looked fine.

98dxNooby · 03-02-2010, 05:56 AM

Some pics might make this easier

dude, 4-5 people have told you to do the same things in an attempt to help you figure out the problem and your just ignoring them... if you want help, try what we suggested

But if you just want to let the world know your shit is messed up go start a Twitter Account
