I have a 1 channel 1600wsony xplode amp ..........i havent used it for a while, but when i finally hooked it up to a sony xplode 12" amp the red light on the amp keeps showing, and the amp wouldn;t work........what does this usually mean? HELP HELP HELP

 

Is that the power LED or a protection LED?

 

I think I'd check the fuses if I were you. I had it on my amp once, and it was a blown fuse.

 

I checked the fuses and all of them were intact because the amp has 3 40a fuses......and non of them were blown......The protection LED Shows.

 

Disconnect all of the speaker wires and see if the problem goes away. If it does you hooked up your speakers wrong.

 

so i should disconect all the speaker wires and just hoook up only th amp?

 

Yup, Disconnect the speaker outputs and see if the protection LED goes out. I have a sony explode amp also and had a short in my speaker wires and the protection LED came on. Corrected the short and the fault LED went away.

 

lol my xplod amp got burnt up, neways check the wiring of the sub, maybe the sub is wired down to 1ohm and the amp isnt 1ohm stable.

 

When i start the car, the regular green light comes on, but after like 5ecs it goes to the LED Protection light....................... when the LED protection light comes on, does it mean the amp is blown?

 

Its oveloaded... happened to me before with my 760watt 2-channel Xplod.. Just couldn't pump any power, and would give up after a few minutes.

 

so what did u do? or what can i do to solve this problem????

 

Have you tried turning the amp on with the speakers unloaded yet? By this I mean with all speaker outputs disconnected.

 

No, let me go try it now.............bump

 

Try using a better ground location. Also check to make sure nothing is crossed or touching between the ground and power terminals.

 

your first problem is that its a sony amp


check all your connections and fuses - maybe theres an internal breaker?
