Whats up guys I just installed my system and it was working fine but as I was driving to work today I hit a little bump and the sub just stopped. So when I got there I looked at it and the red light would be on then it would flick off for a second then come back on. I thought the amp may have blown so I tried another Kicker amp that I have. That one did the same thing the sub would work for a second on this one then the protection light would come on them go back off after a couple seconds. Have any Ideas?

 

maybe the sub is blown and causing the amp to go into protect.

 

well i hope thats not the case but I will have to borrow a friends sub and try it out.

 

maybe your remote,the blue wire

 

or the ground may not be good

 

thanks for the suggestions I am going to work on it tomorrow nite. any others?

 

If you've swapped the amp already, then troubleshoot external sources of the problem. They could only be: power, ground, remote, or your sub.

Or, you could be totally fuxored, and the deck's internal remote turn on is broken. That would suck.

 

Ok gusy so i fixed the problem by grounding it better but now it startind doing it again everytime i went over a bump the sub turned off then back on and then it just went toatly out?

 

Did the ground come loose again? Possibly a faulty amp (had a bad Audiobahn a few weeks back on an install of mine)?

I think the amp is fine because I tried a different amp and that one was in protection mode too. I am going to try to re-wire everything tomorrow.
