20 Most Recent Insignia 600W Bridgeable Amplifier with 12" Subwoofer Questions & Answers

Unfortunately I think you need to get it repaired or replaced .When a protection light will not turn off it is generally caused by an internal short and needs one or more replacement parts for it to come alive again.

hello u will need to tell me what the amp is not doing ?/ dose it trun on ? have u replace the amp fuse?

Check your connections and secure. If possible try another amp on the speakers if it doesnt shut off

Disconnect one speaker at the time (at the amp) until the protection light goes out, then you know where the problem is.

If your sub is a dual coil wired in parallel and you run it with the amp in bridged mode the impedance will be too low for many amps, seeing it as a short. Then wire the dual coils in series instead or run the coils on one channel each.

I've also seen coils in speakers melt and short out partially, causing too low resistance as seen by the amp.

Good luck!

This can be done but the 2 amps will have to be identical and their gain set the same. Bridging on an amp works on this principal. A far safer method of getting more power out of your system is one amp per speaker, so in your case adding another sub along with the Insignia.

First ceck yor ground. it should be grounded directly to the frame andto clean bare metal. sedonc check your wires to make sure nothing is chaffed and grounded out. after that you can check yur subs to make sure the ohm load is safe for your amp..let me know if theres anyting else to help out!

you could of shorted something out inside the amp causig there to be no output, the easiest way todo that would be if the power wire grounded out after the fuse while i was hooked to the amp. also its possible the ohm load was toolow for the amp to handle. and mst amps are repairable its just how much are you willing to spend. hope this helps

Is your gain all the way up? If it done this before, sounds like your over working the amp. Make sure your subs ohm load is capable with the amp load to. If they are 1 ohm and your amp is only 2 ohm stable, it would beat for a lil bit then go into protection mode to. Check your wires too.

remove it from power is all you can really do

make sure ur rca inputs and outputs are hooked up firmly if so u may have an amp or stereo problem

A few things can be happening, the amp has a short somewhere, the amp is defective, or it may have a connection problem, wires connected the wrong way, but it is most likely a short somewhere, trace the power wire from the battery to the amp 12V+ connector and see if there is a short or if the wire is pinched, another way to find out is to get a test light, find a power source somehwere ( 12V+ ) and place the test light tip on the amps 12V+ connecter, thats the easier way if you are too lazy to trace,lol. If the test light lights up then you have the power wire grounded and you need to find out where and correct it., Also check the amp turn on wire it may be grounded or shorted as well.

Good luck my friend.

Lex..

better to just get a new amp if they don't fix it right you can end up with burned up speakers

big red
check the groud it migh not been properly placed

if the speakers are 250 watts each then yes if speakers are less you will blow them cuz of to much power if they are more then you most likely won't be able to push them

sounds like maybe the wiring from the cone to the magnet is ripped or broken.... which is why when you push the cone in it works because it pushes it far enough to make the wires touch just barely, but when you let it go the wires seperate and you get no sound.

Your wire is built with slack, so when the cone goes in and out during a song, the wire can move with it and not get broken. but when you cone moves too in or too far out, then that wire can snap or become disconnected.

I have fixed this by soldering the copper wire, but you may lose some power because your copper wire might be a bit shorter(it will probly break again)... or you can lengthen it, but it is not easy to solder... some places will fix it for you but the cost may be more than what it is worth.

This is just a guess, take your speaker outta the box, and look to see if these wires are broken, lose, or frayed.

good luck.

some parts are damaged ,maybe audio amplifiers IC´s or power fet´s
