[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1390079, member: 561023"] Let's start with [I]this:[/I] [I] [/I] What kind of amp are we even talking about? On my KAC-PS500F that runs my interior speakers there is a small triangle over the center of the 'W' where it says Kenwood on the front of the amp. Within that triangle is a multicolor LED which is indicative of amplifier status. If the triangle is lit up [B]red[/B] (like Kenwood's logo that they have used for years) everything is A-Ok and operating normally. If that triangle is lit up [B]green[/B] then the amp is in one of its protection modes (whether it be thermal overload, under-current, speaker short circuit, etc) Backwards from most amps, I know, but there's at least one example of green not necessarily meaning "go." And no....the amp's previous owner didn't wire it that way - the manual states that it is supposed to be that way [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
