kdeezy Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Can cold temps cause an amp to go into protection? I was riding listen to music for like 5 minutes and it went into protection. It's like 15 degrees out and my amp is ice cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 i wouldnt think so, if anything the cold should make everything perform better. did this just start happening when the temps started dropping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranny, we have a horrible habit of posting at the same time lol hahaha If it had ice on it and it melted and got the board wet it is possible. this happened to a friend of mine. got ice on his amp, melted, and amp ended up blowing up from being shorted on the board.
