if the amp goes in to protect and nothing is connected to it the amp is bad

Mounting Diameter: 3 5/16 inches or 84 mm
Mounting Depth: 1 3/16 inches or 41 mm

Should have a remote wire off of your radio....
Usually blue in color. Make sure it it says remote. If that don't turn your amp off, try to power antenna wire. One should work

Absolutely. Any car amplifier needs only 12v constant power, Chassis ground, and a switched 12v source to power up. Your switched source is most commonly from the remote turn on lead that comes from your head unit.

Hi, the wattage is 450 watts....

That is a decent amp but I believe the cost is going to be more than the amp is worth at the moment. There are variety of amps in that power range that are inexpensive. I would recommend that you look on either craigslist.org and or ebay. I have picked up several amps from ebay that has cured my needs!

Something to consider: Unless you fried a circuit in the amp, and have seen the smoke or have had that smell of something burning, take the amp out and take a blow dryer to it and let it sit out for couple of nights. Then reconnect it to your system and see what it does. From that point on perhaps you need to decide if buying a different amp is the way to go?

rem is remote turn on. you should have a blue/white wire on the back of your head unit which is used to turn the amp on.

This is a 2 channel amp. Right and left. It is also only 4 ohm stable. As long as you do not have an ohm load lower then 4 ohms, you can run what you want on it.

However.... If you run 2 more speakers off of this for the front, they would all be on the same rear channel, meaning you will have no fade, and some songs that are designed to have parts of the song louder in the front then the back, will loose some sound.

If you want to run front and rear speakers on an amp in your vehicle, it is best to either have a 4 channel amp,or buy another 2 channel amp. This way you ohm loads will be correct, and your balance and fade will be as well.

Typical setup, 4 channel amp running the front and rear speakers, and a Class D mono block am driving a subwoofer(s) in the trunk area. In place of 1 4 channel amp, you can use two 2 channel amps.

It connects to a fused, switched 12 volt power source; one that comes on when the radio comes on, preferrably the blue/white wire from the back of an aftermarket stereo.

sorry, its not feasible, your home stereo and speakers are on AC power while your car amp runs off of DC power.

you can try a MTX 10" 5500 or a 10" alpine type R

if you only use the white or the red then you won't have the correct sound so i would say buy a new deck but if you must get a "y" adapter but your bass may not sound right.

the more power you provide your speakers the less distortion they will produce so in turn you will get a cleaner sound

any amp over 400 watts can power pretty much any sub even one without a sub output just bridge the connection to an amp without sub output. btw a subwoofer does not use as much watts as it says on the sub it usually only take a couple hundred watts to power the sub and make it sound clean

check ur ground poss bad ground area take test light to pos side of amp to see if u have power
