    Amp not working, amp or wiring?

    I did not. However, I am almost certain it isn't the amp. I've had these problems for a while, so I contacted the manufacturer of my amp. They said to send it in, and I did. I ended up getting a new amp, and it still isn't working. So, I'm sure that isn't the issue.

    Thanks for the response. It is a PPI P900.4. The gain definitely wasn't up too high, but it is certainly possible that the amp isn't getting enough power. Do you know how to check this? I have a multimeter, but I am not totally sure how to use it. I have also heard that you aren't supposed to...

    Amp not working, amp or wiring?

    Hello. I have a basic system, front speakers and sub connected to my amp, and rear speakers connected to radio. I had the amp installed by a shop, and it worked fine, but only for a month. After that, the amp started going into protect mode. I am unwilling to go back to the shop, as I now...
