Jl audio amplifier keeps going into protection mode

Check your speakers wiring to make sure they are not touching. This will make your amp go in protection mode.

If it keep on going into the (Protection) Mode, Minimiun $150 end up to have it (Repaired)

Check for a speaker wire that come come of , Or a loose grond wire on the amp or where ever you have the ground wire connected two,

Do you have a capacitor????? If not, when its up loud and hitting hard it might be going into protection because of a voltage sag....If it goes below 11.8v they will usually do that.....Get a multi meter and put on the hot and ground of your amp when its playing loud and see what the voltage is dropping to.....If its going below 12v, thats your remedy...gd luck....

there has to be a short in your wiring start by disconecting the speakers and see if it goes off

what do you have hooked up to it? Subs, Speaker, so on. it sounds like it is going into protection because of improper wiring... or it was improperly wired. if it is malfunctioning you need to take it to an authorized JL audio dealer. It's going to cost some cash unless you have a warranty on it and it was installed by a liscensed technician.

is there a green light? does it go red? the unit could be auto-protecting from your speakers, are they old speakers?

That means something isn't wired right. Make sure that all of the power inputs from the battery are correct. Most importantly make sure no bare wires are touching (IE the positive and negative bare wires going to the subwoofer terminal.) If it keeps persisting, check the voltage level in the car and make sure it is normal, because some fancy amps have protection where it will go into protect mode if the amplifier is not getting enough power to supply. Also, does this happen when you are really bumping (like high volume) or just the second its on it cuts? Because when you really play it loud and it cuts, sometimes you are putting too much a load on the amp. Make sure the fuse in the amplifier is the correct fuse for the amplifier.

your w7 13's are dual 1.5 Ohm, but according to JL website, are 2.41 Ohms when the coils are in series. Each 13 connceted to each amp with voice coils in series is your best bet. The amps are designed to put out the same amount of power from 1.5 to 4 Ohms. If you parallel the voice coils, you end up with .6 Ohms and the amp will go into protect mode. You'll be drawing a lot of current, so you may want to think about 1/0 guage power wire, upgrade the wire from the alternator to battery (usually only 8 guage) and think about multiple batteries.

HI K-****, Adjust your Gain setting to limit just enough so the amp does not go into Protect mode.

1. Turn your Gain all the way down,
2. then crank up the bass from your system.
3. GRadually turn up the gain until you trip on protect.
4. Turn the gain back a notch and your set for no more protect.
