you are doing something wrong. I have been beating on the same amp for over 4 years.

What are you wired to and whats your electrical like. How where the gains set. Did you verify that its the amp and not the subs, a shorted tinsel lead or coil will instantly protect an amp.

I think some of the guys here have used them, maybe they will chime in ? Are you sure its the amp ? You unhooked subs and it still goes into protect ?

 

[BBurg247]

Yea it still goes in protect.. I can still here the subs playing low when it's in protect too

How about describing your electrical like what was already asked of you?

it is most likely not an 'amp" problem it is a system problem and no amp is going to fix that.

That Audiopipe amp is a pretty stout budget amp and does not normally blow for no reason.

So explain what you have for electrical before we can recommend a replacement amp.

with everything off make sure ground is tight and no paint on the metal pull on wires at amp be sure they are tight.. if subs are wired separately un hook one if no luck unhook other if amp comes on it a sub or wire problem hook 1 sub up at a time see if it'll play 1..

Have you checked voltage into the amp? Multimeter?

Ap's will smoke fairly easy with voltage drop and low impedence. But if its 1ohm or above and high 12s low 13s and above, i doubt its the amp. Weak link in install.

APs get a bad wrap (sometimes deservedly so), but they work fine in acceptable applications
