I have having a very odd issue with my amplifier. It is a Kicker ZX850.4, was working fine until a few days ago. The issue is the amp shuts down after only a few minutes of play.
#1. The issue is to consistent to be a loose wire.
#2. The amp shuts off completely, no red light for protection, but it does show a green light when it is on.
#3. When the amp is off, the DMM reads 12v at power and 12v at remote.
#4. I tried by-passing the fuse to see if that is the problem, didn't help.
#5. Tried running the remote directly from the ACC instead of the MS8 and no luck with that.
#6. The amp will not turn back on unless it has been sitting for a decent amount of time.
Other than this I am pretty much stumped. I would be guessing something went wrong with the amp, but I don't know why it would turn on a play perfectly fine then shut off.
