amp protection problem

[NhustlaR 10+ year member]

MA audio HK1000d will work, but when the power wire is left in it for a period of time (overnight) it will go into protection and you need to drain the power from it to get out of protection. meaning you need to take out the power wire and let the remote stay on until the LED's go out.

Once you hook it back up it powers without a problem.... any suggestions?

I'm runnin it @ 2 ohms 500 rms(rated) its running 2 L7's. 4gauge from batt. to 2nd battery(paralell), then 8 gauge to the amp. also 8 gauge ground. 16 gauge remote wire...help anyone?

I thought you fixed this problem with a new transistor.

so the remote isnt turning the amp off? Could be something bad internally.

whats the voltage off the second batt? wouldnt it raise the voltage on the batteries if you have them in parallel

Parallel wiring increases Ah, keeps voltage constant.

Series wiring increases voltage while keeping Ah constant.

oops i never was super good about having batteries in parallel or series

no it has nothing to do with the remote. read over the origional post again...and im checkin voltage right now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

there should be no problem, 12.4 when car is off and 14.2 when car is running. Im just not sure what is going on. once you disconnect the power and let it drain, its fine.
