My kicker was doing the same thing, and come to find out the power was loose,
1.check power connection,
2. check ground
3. check remote wire.
4. check that your amp isn't mounted on -metal-
5. check your fuses onboard the amp,
6.check you speaker wire
7.check your rca jacks
8. check that your gains aren't too high for the wattage

check the signal cable, there could be interference that causes a high peak that keeps the protection light on because of constant high output

How do i fix my Power Acoustik LT-980/2 car amp, it keeps on going into protect mode.

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 . .A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if this answer is helpful to you

The red light on the amp is staying on and the green light isnt coming on

its going into protect mode, meaning there is either a short in one of the transistors
or one of the jumper bars is loose, needs to be re-sodered. Easy fix.

The red light is on but there is power to the unit. no visible

If the red light is the protect LED, the amp probably has shorted output transistors. To eliminate other possible causes, read through the following page:

Amp Not working!

If the amp goes into protect mode, it's likely due to shorted output transistors. To eliminate other possible problems, read through the following page:

Amp in Protect Mode - Troubleshooting

If the problems are not with the wiring, follow the link at the bottom of the page to the Amplifier Repair Primer page.
