Problem I have the volfenhag 1000 watt amp and last night i noticed it shut off for some reason. It came back on after a played with the power cord but today it shut off again. When i start my car the amp turns on along with the red protect light but then it cuts right off i tried making sure all the wires were in and nothing seems to work please help.

I would use a 4 gauge wire for the power supply to the amp and a 4 gauge neg of the amp

ZX 8290 Volfenhag 2 Channel 1200 Watt Bridgeable Power Amplifier

try again and again

There are a couple of reasons why this might have happened. Subwoofers are finicky. I always recommend to my clients that you don't apply full power to your sub until you have had one week of playing it at low volume. This helps to condition the voice coil. When at full power the voice coils heat up rapidly. To go from cold to heat fast will warp the coil. The bad news is that this would fall under the "abuse" category for refunds. Then again, you might get lucky with a return unless you bought it from an individual. The other thing might be how it was wired. If your amp is 4 ohm stable and you wired to a 2 ohm load, it may have shorted something. But you would think that would be the amp. Not sure this answered the question, but just a few ideas to think about.

Not to worry, if you visit any electrical shops you will get the right size of the EYE TAGS that will fit your amplifier connection. You can carry you amplifier along to check this out. I am sure with patience identify and connect, check the connection leads carefully and your amp will power on. OK. Good day

Hello youngbossrio,

Like other car audio capacitors, the Volfenhag zx-hypercap has two terminals, a positive and a negative. The negative terminal is connected to the metallic frame of the vehicle (ground). The positive terminal is connected "in-line" with the amp 12V positive terminal.

The capacitor should be as close as possible to the amp. Within a couple of feet is acceptable.

The capacitor needs to be "charged" before connecting it directly to 12V positive. This is done with a 1000 ohm resistor and a voltmeter. The exact value of the resistor is not critical but it should be in the 500-1000 ohm range. Use at least a 1 watt resistor (your capacitor may have come with a resistor for charging).

Hope this helps.

If you are looking for some serious sound try using a Rockford Fosgate P3001T Amplifier.. it pushes 3000W Max its a 4 channel amplifier. Or you could go with something small. I have two JL Audio 10s in my car running with a 600W 2 Channel MTX Amp.

if your light is not coming on then you probably dont have power to it. check all your connections and make sure it is all hooked up right. check the remote with in the back of the deck.

You're using the wrong control wire. You're likely using a wire marked antenna control. You need to use the one marked amp control. They are both blue.
