[QUOTE="Mexar, post: 6115368, member: 599759"] Had a really cold spell here during the winter, and the amp decided to make some funny stuff happen to my subs when the car turned on in the really cold. I never EVER had a problem with my old RF amp, no matter what the temp was, so this was a new problem. Running a Vr2000D amp, didn't have time to putz with it and it was BLEEPIN cold, so I just unplugged the remote turn on and never touched the power / ground wires. Now fast forward 4 months, installed a new HU, and decided I wanted my bass back, so I load the box back into the car, turn the amp back on and whammo clipped into protection. Turn the gains down a bit, plays good for 20 mins, turn the gain up a touch to get some bass again, blam, protection. Turn it off over night, still in protection in the morning, drive for maybe 5 minutes, amp kicks on and I've got nice clear bass, then back into protection. It flipped in and out of protection about 6 times in 10 minutes (No where to pull over and d/c it again) So what I'm wondering, is did the clipping mess it up bad, the cold weather screw something up internally, or did leaving the power/gnd wires hooked up for months and not using it fry caps or something inside (unlikely because it was never truly "ON" without the remote switch, but hey) [/QUOTE]
