amp in protection for no reason

[rick22 10+ year member]

i think i may be screwed but maybe not. a while ago my sub just randomly stopped playing and not while i was playing it. it was working fine the night before and the next day it wasnt working. the amp is in protection mode. no fuses were blown and all connections were fine. the system has been fine for the three months it was in this car and the six months it was in the other car. i never changed anything other than the sub sonic filter because i went from ported to seeled. i changed the two fuses on the amp and had everyhing disconnected for over three weeks and yet it still doesnt work i even opened the amp to see if anything looked burt but everything looked brand new. can this be fixed or am i doing something that is causing this that i can change. any help is appreciated. thanks alot.

Take her in to a repair shop and ask them to bench test it.

Sometimes its a really simple part that needs replaced.

If it does need repairs and you are handy with small electrical tools, remove the circuit board from the amp and give them it to repair then its just a straight resolder a new part in, no labour charges for dissassembly or reassembly.

i did think of that but here it costs for them to even look at it plus half the time they dont know what they are doing and could screw it up more. but what i was thinking is is there a way i can override the protection mpode like clip a wire to get rid of it. thanks for the help.
