MatthewBigBossWilliams Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Okay thanks and I don't have the manual sorry buddy in the troubleshooting section of your hifonics manual it says: "4. If the amplifier is still in Protection mode after the above steps, remove all RCA's and wires from the amplifier. Take a 12" length of speaker wire, trim the plastic off of each end exposing the wire. Now connect one end of the wire to the12V+ on the amplifier and connect the other to the Ground on the amplifier. You will have a brief spark indicating that the Capacitors have been discharged and the drivercard has been reset. Remove the jumper wire and reconnect your Power, Ground and Remote wires. Attempt to power the amplifier up like normal. In some cases this can Reset the amplifier if permanent damage has not previously been done"." Wow, talk about being a good member... Dam! Reading the manual for someone when they won't.that didn't work I tried the cable power to ground it sparked but then I plug my wires in and still in protection mode You actually plugged the power wire into the ground portion of the amp? I wouldn't be surprised if that fucker is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRON Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 You put the power wire into the ground terminal? The amplifier is probably dead from that alone.

You actually plugged the power wire into the ground portion of the amp? I wouldn't be surprised if that fucker is dead. You put the power wire into the ground terminal? The amplifier is probably dead from that alone. You two need to go back and read what Gunnem posted from the owner's manual--it says to disconnect all wires, then run a jumper from + to - on the amp to discharge the internal capacitors and hopefully reset the amp. GBailey, if that didn't work or if that's not what you did your amp is broken. Send it to someone for repair or replace it. Clearly the 5th time was the charm for you on getting helpful info on here (way to go Gunnem) but in the future find the correct place and ask your question there. ONCE. I doubt you'll get as lucky pestering the whole board a second time. Static drops are my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 and this is why its good for the price logic is always wrong.. sure its cheap and can do 200 watts under its rated power.. those its good for the price amps always and up the same way, fried. they only last a few months or maybe a year or two then its time to buy another one. had a brz2400 and fried it just by touching the speaker output for a brief second when it came lose from the amp. you can get a solid 1500 watt amp for around the same price of that 1200 my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
