Team-Atomic-Andrew Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 ok check all grounds and remote line, the remote line may have shorted to the ground, check speaker leads and connections, if that still doesnt work give randy a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Umm how did you bench test it, just out of interest? Are you running a rear battery setup? Half the time it's cos you've somehow popped one of the fuses on your feed front-back and the back batts have gone flat. Check the voltage. Other things that will make these amps all protect happy are bad grounds on anything in the signal path like EQs and the such. Last of all, it might have just shat itself. They do that from time to time. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_racin4 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 bench tested with kinetic 3800 8g inputs 12" long or so in car rear batts only fuses are from batts to amp nothing between front and rear will cheak voltage in the rear Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why fuse the runs to the amp? Especially if you're not fusing the run front-rear. If you're not gonna fuse the single most important wire in the car, why fuse anything? Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
