Help T40001bd problem

[IgnoreMe 5,000+ posts]

i would completely disconnect the amp. then make about 1.5' power and ground wires.

run the power to a battery, the ground to the battery, and then use wire for the remote turn on and go straight to the battery positive. if it still goes into protect the amp is bad.

right now you're just looking, and pulling wires etc etc. i think the best way to check is to remove everything from the equation. no long runs of wire through the car, no power for the remote turn on from the hu, nothing. just straight to the battery. hell you dont even have to use big *** wires as you're not going to make any power, just test that the amp will turn on and work.

x2, easiest way to narrow down the possible problem.

Well if you tried every then there is obviously an internal problem. Send it to Amp Repair Center. They'll fix you up.

amp was $700. he said it worked fine. He actually had two and sold one to Kasey on here and his worked fine appearantly so I thought there would be nothing to worry about

Did you ever try running the remote wire just to the + on the battery? Last time something had cut my remote wire, and it had shorten the wire causing my 4 channel RF amp to go into protect. I had figured out that it was the remote wire, and i had replaced it with another one and everything worked fine again.

I have hooked it up solely to the battery and used the batt + as a remote, still turns on to protect mode

if you had the amp grounded to the batt like i said, its pretty much guaranteed its the amp. there really is nothing else that is influenceing the amp at this point.
