ARC 2500xxk issue/?

Whats up guys?

I have an arc2500xxk pushing a kar series 12. Problem is right now the thing isnt working the way it should. The sub isnt hitting at all. Green light for "FP mode" is on.

I have done a google search for FP mode and it says it means Full power mode? That shouldnt be causing a problem im assuming...any thoughts here?

I have it wired up per the diagram in the instruction booklet. Bridged, subs running a 4ohm load. I have the amp turned way down but im not getting any power to the sub at all. I have a 60amp fuse between the amp and sub. I know this is under rated but i dont plan on using the full power of the amp. Fuse is not blown, if i blow it i can always upgrade it.


I know this post is kinda vague. im no audio expert. I can get answers to all the trouble shooting questions you guys come up with.

Thanks

So i believe FP mode is on bc the amp is set to Xover. I am not running an external Xover so i need to have it set to "Full". I will make that change and see what happens.

no crossover means you need it set to LP or low pass, and having the level down will also make it not have any power going to it, slowly increase it till it sounds right.
