If protect is coming up on the display, it means the system is detecting a short somewhere on one of the speakers and so is turning the amp off to avoid damage.
Check all the connections at the back of the amp to ensure they are not shorting, and at the back of each speaker, if nothing is found there, check each wire for damage, or a bare wire touching the body of the car

Most any Kenwood dealer should have it. AAMP of America makes aftermarket ones as well.

somthings wrong with your ignition wire run your stereos power on a toogle switch

if you lost battery power the head unit thinks its been removed or tampered with. You should have a code that came with the manual that you have to type in to unlock it.

it is a feature that deters thieves from stealing it because it is useless without the code.

If you do not have the code you will have to call kenwood with the serial number to get the code.

This happens when there is a short on the speaker wiring. To protect the unit from getting damaged. Check all your speaker cable connections, and also the cabling for damage or loose connections that may be shorting out on other wire or metal part of the car.

Hi there,

This usually means there's a problem with the speaker wiring. You may have a defective speaker; your speakers may be mis-wired, or one of the wires may be shorted against vehicle metal.
Disconnect all the speakers from the deck and see if the error message still comes up then try to dissconnect it from battery power (It must be work as 99%). If it does, then the deck is defective. If not, re-connect the speakers one at a time until you identify the one that's putting the deck into "protect" mode.

Good Luck!!

Thanks
