It powers up and everything. It played for a few seconds then protected.

Have you actually tried to do anything to figure out whats wrong?

hmmmm....your box doesn't look like its made to be super efficient...

ummm. have you tried start the gain down low on the amp. and rolling it up and seeing when it goes into protect?

By the way. Be careful. Sending it into protect too much might pop something on the output (happened to me)

FML...... i dont understand. it was playing really low volume and gain for a couple seconds then just protected and stayed in it.

**** dude! That's the one you just scooped?? I'd try just one sub and see. If that isn't it.. Ugh... Maybe a battery feeding power back?

Have you checked every connection? Have you checked all fuses?

Unplug rcas and speaker wires turn amp on and see if its still stuck if so unplug the battery power wire to amp leave ground and remote turn deck on let caps discharge then plug power wire back up and nothing else see if its came out of protect if not it needs serviced.
