JBL amp = pos

Recently i brought my GTO601.1 in too be tested and it came back with no problems on the test sheet.. I hook it up to my new Rl-p 15 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif and set the gains accordingly. After a little bit of testing songs the amp goes into protect mode and flashes every 4 seconds. What does this mean b/c i lost the original owners manual. It does this when i turn it up past 26 and i listen to my music at 30 volume usually. This really makes me mad and it doesnt seem to be puttin out the power it should. I have the rl-p wired up for a 2 ohm load and i know this amp is stable at that. What could be wrong with the amp or is it my electrical system?

In my manual for my BP600 it says if the red light flashes every 4 seconds, it says there is a short circuit in speaker or speaker wire.

I would assume it means the same thing on all the JBL amps.

Sounds like wiring to me... I had a similar problem with my KX600.1 and L5, turns out my fuse under the hood was fuxor3d... When the bass hit it came loose
