[QUOTE="efm80, post: 5013170, member: 597416"] well we did some testing and let the problem happen. This time I looked at the power light on the amp and when the speaker or speakers were cutting out the amp light would turn amber then back to green. It kept doing it. I looked it up in the JL HD600/4 manual and this is what it said: [B]3) Constant Amber (yellow): lights to indicate[/B] [B]that the impedance of the speaker load[/B] [B]connected to the amplifier is lower than[/B] [B]the optimum load impedance range for the[/B] [B]amplifier. When this light is on, a protection[/B] [B]circuit engages and reduces the power output[/B] [B]of the “Front” or the “Rear” channels,[/B] [B]depending on which channel is experiencing[/B] [B]the problem. The amber indicator will also[/B] [B]light when a short-circuit is detected in the[/B] [B]speaker wiring (this can be a short between the[/B] [B]positive and negative speaker wires or between[/B] [B]either speaker wire and the vehicle chassis).[/B] [B]This can be used to diagnose a short-circuit by[/B] [B]only connecting one of the amplifier sections[/B] [B]at a time (“Front” or “Rear” channels). The[/B] [B]amber LED will light when you connect the[/B] [B]section that is experiencing the problem and[/B] [B]turn the volume up.[/B] anyone, please give me some input...thanks! eddie [/QUOTE]
