No power?

[old_greg 10+ year member]

I have the AQ 2200D and Alpine Mrp- F600 4-chan can from a dist block. I have 4 Gauge currently but plan to upgrade to 0.

I have had this set up running for 6 months or so. I have the my DC lvl 3's wired to two ohms to the AQ 2200d so they only get 1300 instead of 2200. Anyways driving home from class the other day and my AQ amp suddenly shuts off and my speakers go out.

pop the trunk 4 channel is still on but my AQ has no power. Check inline for shits, its fine. Check Dist block, both solid connections to both amps. Check ground on AQ, Fine. Also check remote line to AQ completely fine and secure. Take the AQ out take it apart smell it for electrical burns and look for anything wrong. I see nothing. Hook it all back up start my car everything starts up fine and both amps come on play everything like they should. Shrug my shoulder turn of car and go inside.

Come back later to go somewhere start car and AQ has no power. Whenever the AQ has no power the Alpine stays on but puts out nothing. Even now without my AQ amp in my car just the Alpine it still puts out nothing.

Also when i turn the key the AQ protection light will flash then go off

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Check yer batt voltage, maybe yer alternator sh!t the bed, and you are gettin low and they are goin into protect...but not low enough for the 4 channel to go into protect.

Wire burning up?

 

[old_greg 10+ year member]

Didn't smell anything and didnt notice any parts of the wire that looked melted

Wire burning up?

unless its a short in the 3ft section from my dist block to the amp.

 

[old_greg 10+ year member]

Well just discovered with the help of my multi meter. I read 14.3-14.4V at my batt but in my trunk each amp is only reading 6.6V this would easily explain why they both are in protect.
