Worth fixing.

1. Stop going to this shop. A fuse that keeps blowing is a sign of a problem. You never replace a fuse with one of a higher amperage because the idea is the fuse is suppose to blow before the the wires melt and catch on fire. The reason it stopped working and the fuse didn't blow is probably be cause the wire did melt someplace and you are lucky the car didn't burn. If it did burn and the insurance company found the 40 amp fuse, they would probably have refused to pay. The idea that a repair shop would do this tells me that they don't know what they are doing. Read this FUSES

*NO*. The LA1020 can not run less than 4 ohms at any time. Bridged or otherwise.

Is your remote turn on wire installed and the cables hooked up correctly? You can try jumping the 12vdc on the amp to the remote turn on lead to force it to turn on to see if it's a deck issue.

You can look it up online but i believe you hookup the negative of one sub to the amp and the positive of the other......with the other negative and positive on the subs run a jumper wire to connect the two......

Hi there! Try to check the fuse from the amp. and the remote must have 12v power.There are 3 wires to hook up [+, remote and -] . That is the only way the amp could have power other than broken.. Good Luck...

sounds like output transistors proffesional repair time sorry

HelloPower light doesn't come ON, means there is no power enters inside the circuits. There will be an over current protection fuse, inside the amp, meant to blow up, if any short circuit occur inside the circuit board of the amp, or at outside speaker connection. You should locate this fuse and check it. it will be a glass cartridge type, slided into a fuse holder. You can detach it from its holder by a hard pull out. Just locate it, detach it from the fuse holder, and check it with a multimeter, set in Ohms range. The meter should show continuity. If there is no continuity, means the fuse is blown up. Before replacing the fuse, you have to check the reason for its failure. Without rectifying the reason, if you insert an other fuse and switch ON the set, the inserted new fuse also will blow up. Sometimes, it may cause to further component damage too.So check the circuit for any short. You must have thorough knowledge in electronics and all tools to do the work. If you are not aware in electronics, get this set repaired by any experienced service technician. OK.

what happened when you tried the correct size fuse after the larger one?

Make sure you have a good ground connection. The ground wire should be solidly connected to the vehicle chassis in a paint-free location. If the ground is connected badly, the protect light will come on.

You need to look at your wiring of the speakers and the Ohm rating on your speakers.
Below are the specs of the amp. You have the Tri-Way amp and the switch that controls
which way it configures it's output is critical. If you are powering just 2 speakers you set the
the Tri-Way to bridge only. Problem is, I cant find a manual. Legacy's site ( Manual Coming Soon.I say call them and ask for a manual to be emailed to you or mailed.

2 Ohm Stereo Stable

yes, should be fine in series or parallel. it will run hotter under lower ohms but crank out more volume!

the power wire and the ground wire have to be the same gag.

Amigo, segun lo que lei, el amplificador es de 1400W 2 canales, asi que en teoria seria 700W por cada canal minimo, de alli para arriba puedes conectar lo que quieras, el control no es necesario (la marca no la conozco) y lo de la compra, como no pones de donde eres, te sugiero eches una visita a la pagina de www.mercadolibre.com de tu pais para que tengas referencias de precios...

Saludos desde Venezuela...

try a 30 thats whats in my leagacy but its an 850 amp if it pops the 30 go up to 40 and so on i wouldnt go passed 60

It depends on the size of the amp. The best route to take is to purchase an amp installation that includes the power and ground cables, RCAs,remote turn on wire and...fuse holder with fuse. You choose the amp kit base upon wattage ofthe amp and they come in 0,4 and 8 gauge sizes.

Most car amps can handle 4 ohms....Some you can bridge down to 2....Google your model number if in doubt....

if the protect light is still on with all speakers disconected then you have overloaded the internal ic and blown it beyound its ability to reset

sorry

check powers and earth, unplug sub and crank it up see if it still goes into protect if it doesnt the sub is too much load for that amp and could have damaged the amp, if it still does it then its a fault in the amp or power problem make sure you have good thickness 4gauge and good earth
