ok so i have a 1000w amp.. the red light has come on the amp and its stoped working, usualy it is green.. i have chcked the earth wire and thats fine and all the fuses are fine. wondering if there would be any fuses on the inside of the amp?

same thing happend to me. check the rem on the back of the headdeck.

rem????

check your speaker wires from the amp ar'nt touching together check that the wires goin into the amp are in there allocated slot and not touching each other or the amp

check the wire on the back of your head deck should be a blue wire with a white stripe make sure that is connected properly to the wire that is supposed to be connected to it (there should be a little wire connected to the amp right near your power wires it should be the same coloured wire connected to the blue/white wire on the back of your head unit

if you dont know how to do that get some one to

Damo

Another tip - make sure the earth wire from the amp to the body of the car is as thick or thicker than the cable used to power the amp. Correct earth is neccessary.

yep thats true.
and remove the paint which you have the earthed to.

rem is remote wire...

usually it would be the remote wire has moved or something like that happened to me a few times

it`s goin into proteck mode mean`s ur runin to much power then the speaker`s need why this happen`s is so u dont blow ur speaker`s or it`s over heatin iv had the same with mine

sooo how do i not run as much power?

man first time i have heard of that happing the amp will go into protect mode if the wiring isn't correct nothin to do with speaker's ........ i have been doing car audio for like 10years now and never heard of a amp doing that .......

so u thinkit is the remote wire?

yes everyone thinks it is the remote check it out and u might be suprised

if u want come around 1 day and i will have a look at it for ya

were r u loacated mate? cuz i cdent even get my headunit out lol

creastmead

its not the remote, if it was the remote it wouldnt be getting power, unless you have taken it form the phone signal ?

For somebody who has apparently been doing it for ten years, you obviously don't know shit. Too much gain = protect mode for most amps.

so wot shud i do to fix this problem?

Check wiring first, check your sub isn't blown (shorted out would lead to the amp going into protect mode), turn gain down and see if it fixes it, etc.
Where are you located?

Moved to Car Audio.

You'll actually get legitimate responses now.

Edit: trh, I've been in car audio for 5 years now. It's been 5 years since I installed my last headunit...

ROCK ON
R~R

if its a boss audio BA1000 amp it has cooked itself. these amps have been known to fail within 10 minutes of professional installation and have also been known to work for many months before any problems arise. return to point of purchase if still under warranty.

cheers.

21 yrs and I need a LOT more detail...

its a boss BA 3000 and i just tried turning the gain down and un hooking the sub but still red light comes on

you bought a hand grenade. if that light is on - turf the amp - its FCK'D and NOT worth fixing.

anyone got a amp for ssale lol cheappp??? or swap a i phone copy for it? and sum cash

define cheap?

just after a 2nd hand amp if some one has a spare one laying around.. let me no wot u want for it
