[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8830510, member: 682903"] Unhook the speaker wire at the amp terminals, and unplug the RCA cables at the amp. Power the amp up and see if it comes on out of protect. If it’s still in protect, you need to measure voltage at the amps 12v+, GND, and REM terminals to verify it is still getting proper power to turn on. Lastly, what exact brand model / amp is it? Electronics do fail, so there is a chance the amp is bad, and the cutting out (or whatever power problem you were having) prior to upgrading your wiring was an early symptom, and now it is finally dead. But can't condemn it yet. [/QUOTE]
