bass4thetruck Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 I have a old school MTX amp and it will turn off after like 10-15 secs of playing and wont come back on for a long time. is it going into protect mode or what?
__d_a_v_i_d__ Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 Should have a red protect light showing up ? If you turn car off n then on n amp turns on ? Means it was in protect most likly... Few things , low unstaple ohms and low voltage can protect it ,... Or possibly amp took a poop Chevy Impala Shocker Sigs / TC Sounds 12s Sundown NS-1 | SAX 100.4 Sundown Neos | Dayton Audio Neos ETCCC ETCCC ETCCC My YouTube ---- Subcribe!!

SnowDrifter Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 What is your voltage and does your remote wire have power when this happens? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
bass4thetruck Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Posted April 26, 2013 What is your voltage and does your remote wire have power when this happens? ya i believe it has power to the remote wire but its all good now it hasnt turned off since i tightened all the wires down more, but it gets really hot
SnowDrifter Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Here's where you need to be very specific. What is getting hot? The amp? The wire? The wire terminals on the amp? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
