try a new set of rca's and see if that works.. u can get a set at walmart for less than $10... just run a set from the radio over the seats back 2 the amp and plug them in... then turn the car on and see if it still lights up in protection

thats weird i use to get the same problem with a different line of amp.. not hifonics.. but it was cheap. even though the RCA would cause it to turn on when plugged in, it wasn't the RCA as far as i remember. if i recalll correctly, it was a bad ground. but i dont understand how a bad ground would do that but make sure youre ground is still good and not corroded or anything.

The son of Olympus has a protection circuit that detects faults such as shorted speaker wires, RCA cables or shorted voice coils.

It also has clipping protection so if your level control or bass boost is not adjusted correctly. the amp will go into protect.
