DUB 2502 Protection Mode help

Red triangle is kenwood power light. Check rcas

The unit will need to be repaired by a technician. Most likely you have a bad transistor that is causing the protect mode to turn on. The only way to get the protect mode to turn off is to remove the bad part.

when you car is running, it charges the battery somewhat. So the voltage problem is not a problem. The red light means the amp is going into ''Protect Mode". This usually happens when something is wrong with the amp. Usually the amp is getting hot. Check all of you connectiong and check the final impedance of the subs. Make sure the amp can handle the impedance of the subs. If you need anymore help, message me.

never ask geeksquad about amps lol check your ground wire connection and push on sub do you feel scratching if so its blown sub also never turn an amp up all the way it starts pushin dc voltage witch a 200 watt amp can blow a 800 watt sub dc voltage is not good for subs also up all the way can burn out the internal battery in the amp lets hope thats not it just make sure ground is good protection light means that the amp has power but a connection is not bien made sum where to complete the circut

i dnt knowwat type of speaks u got but ifits low then it cud be tht u have too open up the second coil on ur speakers...dnt sound like the amp since its on & not in protect mode,other than tht i'll recheck the wiring

If the protection light is on, the amplifier likely has shorted output transistors. To eliminate other possible causes, read through the following page.

Amp in Protect Mode - Troubleshooting

Let me know if you have any other questions.

check you rca in put into the am with out spkr wire connect to amp if protection light still on amp is damage

Take it step wise.

Unplug the inputs and outputs from the amp (be sure to mark the wires so you can hook them back up), leaving only the ground, +12, and remote wire hooked up. Now, turn it on. If the amp light goes red, the amp is broken. If it goes green, turn if off, plug in the speakers, then turn it on. if it's red, its a speaker problem, if green, do the same with the inputs, and you'll have your answer.

You will need to show it to a service technician as it seems the output section has blown so it remains in protect mode. One reason (could be) that the input to the amp was high and may have been clipping for some time before the amp decided it could take it no more

The red light means the amp is in protection mode. A few things can cause protection mode..... First disconnect the subs completely from the amp, and turn it on, if it powers up you have blown subs. Also try checking the main power wire at the battery...sometimes the current your meter is seeing is backfeeding from the remote wire, so your main power line could be blown at the fuse under the hood. hope this helps
