Take the cap off and see what happens. Maybe its low voltage? Thats what it was when my 2500D was having that symptom.

low voltage or ur clipping the signal, turn down the gains on the amp. U wont get as much bass but if it stops flashing it means u need to set ur gains correctly.

Turn off your caps lock.

Its probably low voltage.

if you didnt change anything your amp may be poop, what is the voltage at your amp?
