Moore941 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 OK so i have a kicker 550.3 that is kicking between power and protect like it goes it to protect for about 3 seconds and then go to power for a few seconds pulled the cover off everything seems fine so burn marks or anything on the board, Any clue what could be causing this issue its never seen low voltage, just curious cuz i would like to put this back in my truck, if need be i can get it repaired but anyone have any ideas on what it may be and how much it'll cost to fix?

Boon Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I dare say an output channel is dieing. Probably not an overly expensive fix. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was good cause 15 dollars is much better than the 600 or so retail, for the zx.1500. Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

Moore941 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Ok i Got to thinking about this and Im pretty sure i figured out what i did wrong, I have 8 ohm Mids and i unhooked everything at one point and start hooking it back up and didnt parralel my mids when i went to hook them back up and then the amp went into protect, could it be that i let the amp see too high of an Impendance and it caused this cuz it did shoot sparks at me when i hooked it up, Could that be the problem, And if so, How difficult of a fix is it? Im pretty good with a soldering iron.
