My MTX 600xd amp light won't even come on. ... Red light comes on. ... one.. and some times it goes into protection... once I turn the car off...
When ANY amplified product goes straight to protect mode there are either a wire touching or the copper coil in one or more of the speakers is burnt od over extended its limit
Sounds like you're overloading the amp. Which rockford subs are they exactly? I can find the specs and see if theyre just too much for the amp or you just have to hook em up to the amp different so the amp wont go into protect mode
The most likely culprit when an amp goes into protection mode is the power wiring. Check your ground wire, it should be solidly connected to the vehicle chassis in a paint-free location. Then check the live power wire and make sure it has a good connection. If that doesn't work, download the user manual from retrovo.com. That should help you to decode why the amp is in protect mode.
In protection mode do you mean the light comes on and it plays music and stuff? If that's the case, that's what the amp is supposed to do. Protect itself from a power surge
most of the receivers come with a cooling fan inside see if its working they usually work when you turn the volume up,, if its working that means you are playing it to loud if you lower the volume a little it will play just fine..( if the fan inside is not working thats the reason it goes into protect mode and it means you must have it repaired,, it goes into protect mode to prevent furter damage to the unit or the speakers,,
Audio receivers have an output protection circuit called "protect mode", this is to protect the receiver from short circuit failures.The speakers and speaker wires are what I inspect thoroughly first, look for bare speaker wires,or bare wires that are touching each other at that point,check speaker wires at the back of the receiver for sloppy connections,etc.If all looks good then try disconnecting all the speakers at the receiver,then turn power on to see if it goes into "protect mode", if it does the the receiver probably has an internal short and will need to be sent in for service,if it doesn't go into "protect mode" then connect one speaker at a time back into the receiver until it does go into "protect mode" then which ever speaker you connected last is the speaker that is shorted(blown) and then you know that speaker is the problem and it will need to be replaced or repaired. Good luck !
It when into protection mode either because something shorted, or it was over loaded, or over heated.
Disconnect the power for 5 minutes then hook it back up.
If after doing this it still remains in protected mode, there could be a more serious problem.
If it comes out of protection, and it goes back to protected mode a lot, then you have you ohm load wired too low. The amplifier cannot handle that low of an ohm load.
check if it goes to protection mode on power on. see to it that speaker selector switch is set.
Is your speakers connected properly?
Is your music source ok?
Do you hear a click after you switch on the power? the click indicates that the time-on delay transfers the amps output to the speakers which prevents thumps going out to the speakers.
Once it goes to protection mode you need to have it serviced. This is due to a fault in one of the amps and that it protect the speakers from further damage.
