pre HU, but i went to set DMM with new HU and when i tryed to play some test tones to set it..it kept going into protect

turn the gain all the way down, does it still go into protect?

also, do you have bass boost on?

i now know that it is something with the wires, what im trying to figure out is what could be causing this, BAD RCAs?(They worked for about a year with no problem) could it be bad connection wit remote turn on

Well everyone is alive just before dying so that ain't a good reason. Swap them and check.

See my above post, its best to troubleshoot things you dont have to pay for

you can also unplug your rca's, see if that does anything

Do check the amp first if you have not done so already.

that shouldnt cause your amp to go into protect

honestly, i think its because your new headunit has a higher pre out voltage than your last one, so your gain may be set too high

Alright went and parked my car like 2 centimeters away from my buddies car and we used his RCAs out of his car and hooked up my amp. IT SOUNDED FINE!!! so it must be the RCAs so thanks for all the help and hopefully new RCA's will fix it!
