Hmmm....Any idea of what to do with it or probably just scrap it?

Yes...I have got the amp taken apart and checked all the connections. It is currently sitting on my test bench hooked up to a test supply. I have 13.7V in on the power and a jumper wire to the remote turn-on. Most everything that I can test with my DMM is dropping a couple of volts when I hear a clicking noise (cannot pinpoint where) and that is when it is going into protection mode. I put another 1000W amp in its place in my car and that works fine. The broken amp doesn't smell like anything is fried and I went over the whole board and cannot find anything burnt up....I don't get it. Maybe some type of thermal protection?!?!

Hello all....so with the amount of activity that this site sees I figured I would throw this out there. I have a Kicker ZX1000.1 and the thing is stuck in a cycle of powering up and going into protection mode at about a 2-3 second interval. I have nothing hooked up on the output side as far as speakers and no RCA's. I have around 13.8V input and a good remote turn-on. The amp was working fine the other day and cut out a few times. I just powered down my HU and fired it back up and everything worked fine for a little while. I took the amp apart and cannot find anything burnt up. Anyone have any idea what is wrong with this thing?
