![]() I am going to send it back to the company as it is covered under 1 year warranty as well however who knows the damage could have occurred from the companies side too? When I got it and connected it up using 8 GAUGE, it went straight into protect mode so who knows if it was my fault or the companies. Even with the 8 GAUGE wire, I should have been able to test it even if it would have lasted me 5 minutes but as soon as I connect the 8 GAUGE wires to it, it stays in protect mode. The speaker wire did which I then crossed the wires together to make it a bigger gauge wire and that didn't smoke up or anything after crossing the wires. How could me using the 8 GAUGE wire be the fault when the AMP never gave any sound output from the start? I should have still got some sound out from it in the first 5 to 10 minutes but I didn't. The company I bought the AMP from is the one who told me it is fine to use 8 GAUGE wire. Even using 8 GAUGE wiring, it should still stay on but this AMP is staying in protect mode. I have also purchased 0 GAUGE wiring kit so if they send a new one out, I will have the correct wiring kit to power the AMP rather than 8 GAUGE wiring kit. ![]() They said to send it to AMP doctor and they will repair the AMP for me and send it back which I agreed too at the start but then thought about it again during the day and thought why should I be getting a repaired AMP back when I paid for a brand new AMP? Waiting for Monday so I could say to them that I will send the AMP back to them and request a brand new AMP to be sent or a full refund to be sent to me, If they do not agree, then I will have to go through it with PayPal. Spoke to the guys on the phone and they told me they tested the AMP out for 26 minutes at 1 OHM load and it was running perfectly fine before they took all the cables of and sent it to dispatch. I think it is a dead AMP yet it was sold to me through ebay as BRAND NEW. ![]() If it is not sound going through to the terminals then what else could it be that is causing smoke to come out of my speaker cables? That could explain why the speaker cables where getting very hot if I connected them to the terminals. I haven't checked continuity however I did check AC voltage set at 200 and connected the Red to positive and black to negative on the speaker output terminals and the reading was reading 30 and jumping to 28 constantly, did not go to 0, This was when there where no RCA cables attached. Could they have damaged something while disconnected the equipment? I am honestly not sure what is wrong with it and have spent more than 7 hours trying to get it to work and still nothing!! ///y282845/emoticons/ Is it a faulty AMP? The AMP is brand new and the company said they tested it at 1 Ohm load for 26 minutes before they sent it out so they reckon the AMP is completely perfect. I added more speaker wire so that the wire itself wouldnt get hot and that seems fine now but still no sound and the AMP stays in protect mode! Have tried my sub woofer with a different AMP in a different car and the sub works perfectly fine so it is not the problem.ฤก2V and 12V remote are receiving 12volts so they cant be the issue too. I have changed the ground point 2 times now > The AMP itself was quite hot too and there was no load on the AMP itself as the gain was barely turned up. Moved the speaker cable a little and smoke came from the ends of the cable from the AMP side as well as it being quite hot to touch. Took it all off again and put it back into the car and this time the protect mode stayed permanently and still no sound. The sub woofer speaker wire was quite hot from the AMP side. The AMP would cut out and go into protect mode. The AMP was making the sub woofer bump a little but if I turned the volume higher. Spent 6 hours on this and then took it all inside and used an old car battery to power the AMP up and used my phone as the audio source. I removed the fuse and put it back and now it gets 12 volts but there was no output from the AMP itself. The first time I connected it all up, the AMP was only getting around 10 volts. The AMP is capable of 1000 watts RMS at 2 ohms so I know that is correct. The Subwoofer I am trying to power is a Pioneer TS-W3004SPL wired in parallel at 2 ohms. My AMP is a Sound Stream P1.1500D and it is brand new received yesterday. If anyone can please help me with this I would be great full.
