Planet Audio VX4002 Car Audio Amplifier Questions & Answers
What does the red and green light mean ???
red and green light? there is most likely a protection and a power light. The red I assume would either be a protection light or a clipping light signal. Does the amp kick off then these lights kick on red then to green?
Hi I have a planet
There is nothing that you can do to fix this. The problem is the circuit that senses the overload and stops the amp by setting off the protection light, is bad. You will have to have it serviced. I would look online for a service center in your area. Since I have no idea what part of the country you live in I cannot assist you there.
Red protection light
make sure amp is not grounded out or shorted out like if u miss and touch ground to power or the other way around protect light usaully comes on be resets once u turn the amp power off then back on . if that don't fix it maybe ur amp needs some repairs inside.

More than likely, your speakers are wired up in such a manner that they are creating more resistance than what the amp can handle. That's usually what puts amps into protect mode.
Car speakers should be 8ohm's resistance, but if you're bridging and running a dual voice-coil sub or two subs in series... you could have inadvertedly wired it up so the amp is seeing 4 or 16 ohms of resistance? (depending on which way you went)
Try removing the speaker wire completely, then turn the amp/car on and see if it still goes into protect.
Planet audio amp logo wont light up
Check to make sure that the "remote turn on" lead is intact. They are usually blue wires.This wire provided a turn on voltage to fire up the amp once the head unit is turned on.
Power light comes on my planet audio ac4001d but logo doesn't light up
Kegan... I tried and tried to find schematics and/or a troubleshooting guide with no luck! Sorry about that...
IF you can open it up, see if you find fried or destroyed parts? Look CAREFULLY for a blown fuse but know they come in MANY configurations now!
IF POSSIBLE, inspect the printed circuit board for any BURNT or open foil paths?
If all else fails ~ send it back to the factory for repairs. You should also receive the latest UPGRADES too and hopefully at least a 30 day warranty?
