100.2 in protection mode why???

[MyPoison1 10+ year member]

when I first installed it, it got hot shortly after, not warm but hot. I though that was odd but left it alone. after of being in use for a few hours the next day it went into protection mode. I drove it to a near by shop, they checked it out and told me the amp was damaged, I did not bridged it, I hooked it up to a 10" sd-v1 (400rms) and I only used one channel so I have no idea what caused it to fail. I'm not sure if this amp was refurbished since I got it on sale? anyone know what I did wrong?

Thank you

It's a sundown 100.2? And what ohm load is your sub? sorry if I missed it above...

^ x2

A refurbished product shouldn't be too much of a concern, imo. They are sent back the the manufactuer, and then anythinbg that needs to be replaced, is.

yes, it's a sd1v.2, and its a Dual 4-ohm voice coils subwoofer.

so im guessing you had it running at 2 ohm mono on the amp? which is below the rated impedence for the amp. It shouldn't have blown tho, just popped the fuses. Replace the fuses in the amp and try again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'll try that.

Thank you.

Should I have bridged it at 4-8ohm? Will it make a difference?

Yes I only used one channel instead of upbringing tmono, will this damage the amp?

It shouldnt.

It shouldnt.

will bridging the remote to one of fuses let me know if the amp is damaged?

WTF? are you stupid?

Replace the fuses they are all of a dollar at Autozone.

lol, there's gotta be something else missing.

I know this kinda sh*t really frustrates me, I checked the fuses and opened it to c if there where blown or burnt spots.

None of the two I still haven't hooked it back up though.

I hope starts working again cause if not I'll have to send back and I already threw out the boxes it came in, so send it back is going to be another pain in the *ss.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

if you do not have a good ground on the amp it will cause it to run very hot and eventually fail.
