[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 4956119, member: 570419"] Yea, but those modes go into a constant protect. What he is describing means that the amp is trying to play normal and go into protect and it's going into protect based on a certain voltage point. At that point, the amp is going into protect... that sounds like a protection diode issue to me. Diodes only allow current to flow in one direction but if they are damaged, they may not behave the same and allow current to flow in both directions. It sounds like this is happening. Check the diodes on the input side and make sure all of them read as a short when the probes are on either side of the diode and then they read open when you switch terminals with the probes. If you blew your fuse on the amp due to high current draw, more than likely you broke something else on the amp. Some components may be blown but they may look fine. Diodes are one of those components; I have seen plenty of them blow and look perfectly fine only to find they read a short both ways or open both ways. [/QUOTE]
