[QUOTE="justice66, post: 7419534, member: 634633"] So there a local guy selling a Autotek MM4000.1 the older Silver one with dual inputs. I know its way more power then i need, but i talked him down to $350. The problem is that when he finally showed up ( after i waited for almost 4 hours, after driving an hour to meet)to show it to me it played for about 30 secs and went into protect. He was running a DD3518 wired at 2ohms. it sounded good for a couple seconds. He said that the wires inside the box must have touched and thats what put in to protect. With out seeing anything in the box he knew for sure thats what happen, he said the wires were twisted together and held with electrical tape. So instead of fixing it he unhooked the amp and tired selling it. I told him to fix his crap and call me later. I will be meeting up with him after work today if i dont buy something while im here at work. The guy is shaddy as hell but i think its a good deal. what would yall do? what would cause a amp to go into protect after a couple seconds? it wasnt even turned up that much and the voltage was above 13. How can you test an amp in a car? Sorry for the long post just trying not to get screwed. -Jon [/QUOTE]
