protection light help

[papa-smurff]

Hey guys I have been in the audio scene for 3 years now but I have had the same system for the last two years and now I have encountered a problem now that I have a new replacement amp in the picture.

My current setup is:

2 12" RE audio custom hybrid dvc 1000 watt rms subs in 4.4 cu ft. 32 hz ported box.( running the 2 subs at 2 ohms)

Hifonics 1000 watt amp

Pioneer deck(dont know the exact model..it was $200 last year when i got it)

It all works great. I could never complain except for a bigger amp.

My friend gives me his audiobahn a1600v amp that works but is too much for him. I hook it up exactly how my hifonics is and it shows the protection light and power light on. the digital meter on the amp shows 14 +/- constant.

If my hifonics works but the audiobahn doesnt, what does that mean? not enough current for the amp? I put new fuses in the audiobahn but that didnt do anything.

tried hookin up just the batt, rem, and grd and still protection light is on.

How did you set your gains? I'm assuming your subs are DVC 2 ohms?

i turned all of the gains on the audiobahn completely counter-clockwise.

Yes I believe they are dvc 2 ohm
