Forevrbumpn Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 i bought this amp and its been a week everything was running fine, but today it turned off i checked the wiring and i lowered the gain and it powers on for 10-20 seconds and shuts off and a red light turns on does anyone know what the red light means or what is wrong with the amp? check your speaker, see if everything is fine maybe a bad tinsel lead, and when the sub gets going, it shuts off? those PT amps also never were great amps Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

Boon Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Red light means protect. Low voltage, speaker short, or a bad channel in the amp. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony101590 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) i checked all the wiring and everything is secure and nothing is loose. now the amp doesnt turn on (no green light) and the light stays red "protect". im a newb when it comes to car audio that why i came here to learn more so any help is appreciated. and if it was low voltage my lights would dim correct? if that would be true my lights do not dim at all.
