Skar Amp Protection Light

[trevorphillips126]

So I have a Skar M9005D it’s a 5 channel amp. It’s powering my main 4 kicker 4 ohm speakers and my Skar 8in DVC 2 ohm sub. I have it set up so both the speakers and sub are running at 4 ohms. I installed everything about a month ago and it just quit. I keep getting a blinking power/ protection light. I am getting 12.2 v to the remote wire and 14.3 v at the amp main power supply. I have also tried different grounds including running a ground directly to the battery negative. No clue what to do. Only mistake I see if buying Skar.

Disconnect all 5 speakers and the rca cables from the amplifier. Turn it on and see if it still goes into protect. If it does, bad amplifier.
If it doesn’t, start adding the speakers and rca cables back to it one or two at a time. Use process of elimination to figure out which speaker or speaker wire is bad.
