rsfm089 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I run 2 aq s1 2250’s strapped. Never had a problem switch vechicals and one went into protect and won’t come out other one runs fine. Why would only one go into protect and not come out of protection? And does anyone know if I can open up the amp and still return it if it wasn’t anything I did. Really want to see if anything is burnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiBo Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 You might've had the stronger of the two amps as master and the slightly weaker amp has been clipping trying to keep up. It's good to test which amp has more output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I was gonna say, make sure your master and slave switches are set proper. Maybe you swapped em, in the swap. If not, then take all the load off the problem amp, and see if it comes out of protect. Report back, cheers and best of luck SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsfm089 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Took the amp out waited about an hour and hooked it back up still in protect. I seen a post about a bunch of stuff to check so I did but nothing came back off. The master amp is still in the car and works. @DiBo there are both s1 2250’s? A little confused on how I would check which one is stronger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Did you hook the speaker wires up to also? Remove everything but power, ground, turn on (remote) and see what happens SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsfm089 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Yes after I waited I hooked back up in this order remote wire positive wire and last negative wire. No speakers or rcas. Give me the old right light. Does it matter how long you wait thinking about going out and try to hook it up again. I just can’t think of anything else to try. The other amp still playing and not in protect has me really confused. I would think the the master would go into protect before the slave.

Kyblack76 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 No. If its stuck, with no load, and your power ground are ok, time un hooked dont matter,... youve popped a fhet, or cap. Open it up and see. Your sending it some where for repair anyway. And if anyone gives you shit for opening it, then dont talk to them. Its broke already,... you cant break it anymore. Crack it open, and look for a black poof mark on the case/panel, and use your nose. Youll see something,..

rsfm089 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 It’s only two months old I don’t want soundqubed to deny me a warranty. I really do want to open it up and look. It’s funny you said about smell I’ve had my nose on it for a while now. Wife is looking at me like I am some kind of crazy person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I've heard of disconnecting everything from the amp and deadshorting the power + and - with a piece of wire to empty the caps. Some manufacturers recommend it , others dont. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Just because they're the same amp doesn't mean they have the same output or clip at the same level of output. It's a Chinese amp with higher tolerance parts. Output varies from amp to amp. Like Kyblack has stated you've probably popped a cap or fried a mosfet tho... But why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
