Pretty open question so lets start with the basics....

1.) Check to ensure your amp is coming on.

2.) Ensure your amp is not going into protect mode.

3.) Double check your wiring is correct (RCA's, REM, GROUND, B+, Speakers)

4.) Ensure your settings on the radio and amp (amp gain is turned up) itself is correct.

These are the simple 4 that should point you in the right direction

SOURCE: my amp is not working

For the visonik, you should check your speakers. You can use a D-cell battery. Remove the speaker wires from the amp and connect each speaker across the battery (for no longer than a few seconds). The speaker should pop each time the wires are touched to the battery. If they don't, the speaker is defective (assuming the battery isn't dead).

If the speakers are OK, you need to confirm that you have a good signal feeding the amp. You can use the RCA cables from another working amp in the vehicle. Do this with the amp that had the power light lit.

If you have signal going to the amp and the speakers are OK, the only two things left are the power supply feeding the amp (from the battery) and the amp. If you have B+ and remote voltage AND a good ground, the amp is defective.







For the pyramid, the amplifier probably has shorted output transistors. The amplifier will have to be repaired.

I have a alpine mrd-m300 amp and it will come on the voltage meter comes on and everything comes on i just get no sound to subs i hooked it up to another amp and it work just can get sound of of this amp...

Make sure your safety mode is off. Go to mode 9 and ENT and make sure it is off. If it still dont work you proabably have bad RCA wre or speaker wire. Hope this helps!

It has two yello two black one blue, then two green and two purple

those are probably the speaker wires. one way to figure out the combination is to take turns switching between the balance and fade options on the deck and hooking up a speaker to it at a low volume. when the speaker comes on, you can write down the correct colors and hook them up where they should be in the vehicle. there is probably a white or black line on one of the two wires of each color wire. it represents either positive or negative.

regarding the blue wire, there is only one because this is your remote wire. it controls anything that needs a power signal from the head unit. things like an amp or crossover. if you don't have an amp or anything, cut it so there is no bare wire and either tape it off or use a wire nut. it sends a 12 v signal which will short and blow fuses and ruin your stereo. don't hook it up to a speaker.

PYLE PT2001X 3300 Watt Professional DJ Power.just had question about running this amp in bridged mode 4 ohms, here's some amp info 3300 watts total power bridged in 1 ch only.1650 each ch in stereo mode...

Hi,

In bridge mode the minimum load will be 8 Ohm.
If you are using 4 Ohm speakers, it will mean you will give each side of the amplifier a 2 Ohm load.
Thats to much for this model.

Kind regards,
Gerard

Protect light comes on, no power

Hello patrick_h_mi,

You'll also need a remote turn-on source for the amp to operate. Normally, this is a blue or blue/white wire from your head unit, but for test purposes, you just need 12V to the "remote" terminal on the amp. The amp should power up without speaker inputs or speaker connections, but it is not recommended.

Hope this helps.

Protection Light Comes on

Sounds like you have an ohm problem, Tryy hooking the positive from one speaker to the negative on the other speaker. Then hook the negative from the first speaker to the negative on your amp and the positive from the second to the positive on the amp this will drop your ohm load and the amp should stop going into protection.

Sony explode amp for my car

Try disconnecting everything but the power connections. If the protection light still comes on, then there's a problem in the amp. If it goes out, then there's a problem elsewhere. In that case, hook up one speaker cable at a time and power on. If the protection light comes on, then either that speaker is bad, or you've got too many speakers connected to that one amp output. Too many speakers connected together can cause an overload and trigger the protection circuitry, or worse, blow out something out.

Hope this helps, and please rate my advice.
Thank you, and good luck!!

Amp Turns on... then off

unplug all speakers and see if it still into protect .If unit powers up normally without speakers , then hook up a temporary speaker directly to speaker out to see if you have output.If it works .Then check speaker cables and speakers for shorts.Also make sure you have good ground and main power and standy are present.

How do i know if my amp is blown

Hey Yoo,

 

Go to Radio shack and get you an adapter that will take an earphone jack and convert it to RCA male.  You use this to simulate the signal coming from the reciever.  Hook up to a Cd player or Walkman, anything with an earphone output jack. Test that the device actually puts out music or anything worth listening to.  Connect the device to the input of your amp, with the car running, and the reciever turned on.. This will tell yo if the signal is getting from the reciever to the amp. You may not be getting signal from the head unit. 

If you still get no sound to the woofers, dsisconnect the woofers and try a different speaker.  If that speaker dont work,  Change setting and switches., and if you still get no sound, then your amp is toast.
