__d_a_v_i_d__ Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share 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 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Here's where you need to be very specific. What is getting hot? The amp? The wire?
