SlayerHawk Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 have 2 PG octane 8.0:4, 600rms..had one, just bought the second..gotem hook all up they worked..got gains set on one amp..unpluged and went to next amp..well..that amp wasnt working(getn a volt signal)..so i unhooked and went back to the first amp and it didnt work..im like wtf..after a min the second amp worked but the first one is in protect mode and wont come out..manual says somthing wrong at speaker terminal or too low of independence..amp is unhooked with just power..and still have red light.. im guessing i crossed the speaker wires..but why would it kill the amp.?.all the lights and everything come on fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazestorm23 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Did you check the RCA's? I had the same happen with rf amp and it was a piece of an old rca stuck making it seem like the rca inputs were touching making it go into protect mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazestorm23 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 That's weird man I was hoping it was something touching up against something. Check for small pieces of wire you would be surprised at what I found in one amp once I vaccumed tiny speaker wire and that's what was causing my amp to burn fuses it was a kicker amp . Anyway hope you find the problem bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
