Kicker 600.1 blown or not?

[Invader_Zim 10+ year member]

Was running my Pioneer Premier ts-w3002spl with a Kicker 600.1 then just stopped during a song today. from the wiring it looks like it was wired at 1ohm which the amp is not stable with but it ran for a week. it was all hooked up to battery and both power and protection lights don't light up at all.

so is it time for a new amp?

I've used 2 kx600.1's at 1ohm with no problem at all, something else is wrong, probably set the gains too high.

I bet the output is blown.

gain was just under halfway and bass boost was 3/4 up. is there any possibility of it being able to be fixed?

sounds like error by the user dude, that's not how you set gains.

before you use another amp READ THE GAIN SETTING TUTORIAL. I don't want to see anymore good amps go to waste

The gain is the first thing you set. The bass boost if ever used is something you have to set very carefully. I never use the bass boost on my amplifiers. It's too easy to clip the amplifier that way.

X2.... I repair car and house amplifiers and I still can not figure out why there is a bass boost circuit on car amps and a loud button on HU's.

ok so i rewired this amp into my car because it was in my mates when it died and well it never died at all as it still works so i got off lucky but i've already brought a PCA2.760. turns out the 8gauge wire in my mates car we used 2 run the amp burnt out. lucky there wasn't a fire.
