AstoSoup Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 My friend has an older DB Drive Platinum 2k amp, dual 1/0 terminals, lots of power! He had it on low volume, was playing fine and it suddenly went into protect. No smoke, no popping sound, nothing, just clicked into protect and will not recover. As the older DB Drive Platinum's are very good amps I understand, I would be more than willing to make a $40 investment if the repair wouldn't be too costly. Does anyone have any ideas as to why the amp would go into protect? Other amp works fine wired the same way, have unhooked everything except the power/ground and still remains in protect. We opened up the bottom and the guts all look normal, no burning anywhere, no smell..... Could there be multiple reasons for this or is it most likely one certain thing? Any help is appreciated, I need to dump this Hifonics! lol Thanks! Head Unit - Clarion VX709 7" DVD Touchscreen Mid/Highs - Front Doors - RF Prime 6.5" component mids. A.
