20 Most Recent AudioBahn A8000T Car Audio Amplifier Questions & Answers

Disconnect all speaker connections and rca cables. Leave power, ground and remote wires intact. Try turning on again. If you still have a protection light your amp is faulty. Hopefully you didn't fry speakers as well. Please check speakers impedance. A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if this answer is helpful to you

Disconnect the speaker wires then the power and ground completly. Then power up the amp and if the protection light turn on the you have an interanl problem if not then you ohm is problably to low and causing the amp to go into protections.

Hello fornda,

The fan looks very similar to a 3" muffin fan. The fans from most computer cases would probably fit. You may have to modify how it mounts, and perhaps the connector, but the voltage is the same.

Here's an online retailer. I'd look for the highest CFM at the lowest fan speed to keep the noise down.

Hope this helps.

You can try opening it up check the circuit board and see what capacitor burned up or other resistors, transistors got burned and go to Radio Shack and solder the new one to replace the burned one. Or if you still have the reciept return it to the manufactorer and hope it has a 1 year Extended service protection on it so they can replace it.

wire are not corrected properly or it touches each other

Check your ground and the connection to your fuse blocks.

well you could be having several issues but it will most likely be one of two of these issues. there could be a cross or a loop in your setup, or you could have and over heating problem. do you have a capacitor hooked in to your system?

When ever the amp stays in RED protection mode with out any speakers hooked up to it, YOUR amp has internal damage some where. Can't tell you how much to fix, Could be cheap or not worth it. Talk to your local electronic repair, would be a good start.

I had a similar problem with a pyle amp. try to disconnect the speakers and turn it on if the protect light doesn't come on then you might have blown something in your amp and it needs to be repaired. For my situation it was a blown resistors and only 1 channel worked. If you don't have soldering experience then I wouldn't bother trying to fix yourself, an unsteady hand can ruin your repair.

CFM is negotiable - as the higher RPMs the more air it moves. (also louder).
Audiobahn is out of business - and unless someone is willing to tear theirs apart for your info - get whatever they have in stock :)



Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

audio put burn out

its called a hard turn on usually caused by the headunit sadly not really fixable very common in alot of lower cost headunits or even just older ones

Do you have heavy enough gauge wire supplying B+ to amp.Big amps draw a lot of current and require very heavy gauge wire. The longer the run the heavier the gauge needed.

make sure your ground wire is connected securely to bare metal

If the protect LED is lit, the amp probably has shortedoutput transistors. To eliminate other possible causes, read throughthe following page:

Amp in Protect Mode - Troubleshooting

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Check your cap, it prob went bad. That could be restricting the power flow now. Try it with out the cap. that just might be the prob.

did you check on the 'remote' terminal? It should have a +12 vdc to let the amp work. You can check this with a voltmeter. Or might be in 'protection mode' (speaker cut-off relay).
hope this helps
