Subs/Ampliefier

I have a full wiring kit installed in my car now when i hook my 800 watt amp to my 300 watt subs a little red light comes on saying Protect. Now is this a issue with a wire running from the stereo or is this something with the amplifier im just curious cause id like to have my subs runnin soon

Thx for your help

This little red light is on the amp?
If so what does your amp manual say about it ?

thats the problem theres a Green Light on the amp that says Power and a Red light on the amp that says Protect and i got this amp from a friend idk if he has a manual for it he gave it to me since he never uses it no more he said it supposedly worked idk tho

Don't know your amp. but usually they have overload protection circuitry for things like shorts at the speaker or when the amp is overheated .

Un hook everything except the power cables (the red, black, and blue).  See if that light still comes on, if so it's a bad amp

For sure something is wrong. Hopefully it is just as simple as incorrect wiring. That can be fixed easily. If the subwoofer is dual voice coil, sometimes people miswire those and can cause the protect LED to turn on. Let's hope it's not an internal problem.

I do hope you know that you have to wire the Amp/Subs correctly, because the Ohm levels could be different.  Just take it to a shop, pay $40 and have them do it.        

I think he might've blown the speakers

if u have an 800 wat amp it wont push a 300 watt speaker b/c it will blow it that is ur protect light it is protecting the sperker the best way to fix it is get another speker so it isnt pushing one that hard>
