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
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
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.

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>
