Hey guys, I have a 750.1 amp powering my two subs in my car. I noticed that my subs weren't coming on last night so I popped the trunk to notice a red LED on my amplifier instead of the usual green.
I did a little research online and found that the light usually indicates a short, damage to the amp, or incorrect hooking up of wires. I barely pop my trunk so I'm positive I didn't change any wires. I figured it must have shorted out (but how?) so I removed power to the amp and then checked both fuses on the amp. They are perfectly fine, yet when I re-attached the power cable, I was still greeted by a red LED on the amp.
What happened? If there was a problem that randomly happened, why didn't the fuses blow? Why all of a sudden is my amp not working?
Is there a way to fix this by resetting the amp somehow. I cannot afford a new amp or to take it to a shop this month.
I don't own a volt meter but I do have a capacitor in my trunk with a digital readout. Looks to say around 13 volts is coming in line before the amp. That should be fine and seems normal. (My read outs were similar when I first installed the system.)
Should I mention that the LED doesn't turn green? Not even for a second. When power is added, the LED starts a bright red and then slowly fades dimmer. Always red though. Even with the speaker wires and RCAs disconnected, it still wont go green.
This amp has 2 fuses on it and neither are blown. How could my amp be fried when this "protection mode," and 2 fuses, are there to protect it?
