Soundstream Picasso PCA2.760 Protection Light

[Invader_Zim 10+ year member]

so i have this PCA2.760 amp, was driving to work this morning listening to my sounds as i do, then all of a sudden "no bass" pulled over and checked my circuit breaker which was sweet. carried on driving to work as i was 2min away and when i got then i checked the amp and the protection light was on. as soon as i turn the key over and the stereo comes on it lights up red straight away. i plugged in my old amp without the sub hooked up just to see if the power light came on and sure enough it did. any ideas?

What ohm load that speaker putting on the amp?

its a a/b (2ohm each channel) and d class (4 ohm bridged) amp. i have a pioneer premier sub dvc 2ohm wired parallel so 4 ohm load so it was all sweet.

Alright, take the speaker wires off the amp and try turning it on, light is still red im sure its internal, and im not a super expert on internals i would have to admit.

what kind of fuses are in these amps? blade fuses? if so where do you get 35amp fuses and this is what the amp requires.
