Ohm's Law says watts / volts = amps, so 1000/12 is 83+change -- damn! I hope you have a big, phat alternator! So fuses have to be rated somewhat higher than device load, you need a 90 amp or 100 amp fuse -- what style I couldn't even begin to guess, normal automotive fuses don't go that high. If this is a new install, make sure your power wires are heavy enough to handle the load. A fuse's job is to blow before the wiring catches fire. The longer the wire is, the thicker it must be. Electrical fire is a catastrophe so make sure your wiring is adequate -- I know it's hard to believe but the power wire is actually more important than the speaker wire!

be sure the amp is located in a well ventilated area as heat build up can cause a safety override to cut power once temp. reaches a certain point. amps do generate heat though so if you dont think its cutting out due to excessive heat building up, i'd definitely get a power capacitor to help keep a steady supply of electrical energy available for instances where the bass hits really hard or for prolonged periods of time. if you have a power cap already make sure it doesnt need to be upgraded to function properly. hope this helps!

its not supposed to do that,read your manual,it only reads memory cards,,it plays dvds Power Acoustik PD 103B

do you have it wired in with all necessary wires? i.e.: audio jacks L/R plugged in?

You should still have warranty and If so I would send it in for repair. The ribbon cable could be bad if it is a flip out style.Good Luck !

Disconnect all speaker connections and rca cables. Leave power, ground and remote wires intact. Try turning on again. If you still have a protection light your amp is faulty. Hopefully you have warranty. Double check all connections. Good Luck.A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if this answer is helpful to you. Worth fixing.

Going in and out sounds like the antenna cable got loose, but the not turning on sounds like the fuse blew. Worth checking those 2 things out first and foremost. Do you still have your owner's manual? If not: http://www.poweracoustik.com/pa2012/manuals/PTID-6250.pdf

how random is it? Make sure the radio is grounded properly. Look in the pin outs in the harness and make sure there is a ground there. Also, you may have 1, 2, 3, or 4 bad speakers. A short in any one speaker will send the radio in protect mode. Also, If your radio is seeing less than something around a 3ohm load (technically 4) it will protect itself as well.

Call Power Acoustik and tell them you had it for a few years and used it in a few cars so the harness has been chopped so short you need to get a new one. I'm sure if it was originally yours, they will want a receipt for the stereo brand new and they may sell it to you if it is available. If not, I sell new Soundstream Stereos at a very low discounted rate, as well, Power Acoustik. Check out the link below, we are the lowest price online for any of their products because we are closing all of the products out since they have driven the product line down to portray them as low as Dual and Craig., as a matter of fact, the products are all great, but, they do not protect their dealers and allow distributors to sell them online on Ebay, cheaper than the delaer's cost with free shipping, which has driven us away from them because we can't make a profit. Anyway, they should be able to sell you one, if not, give me a call or check our site, we sell their distributed products as well and may have a harness available on the website.
