Yup thats correct. When the protect light comes on its usually a ground fault or a problem on the amplification side, such as incorrect impedence due to incorrect sub wiring, or a short on the subwoofer end. | |

quote: Its when you use the power of both channels together in mono. Basically if you have a 2 channel amp, you can bridge them to get a single power rating for running a sub ect. | |

sounds like when my friend blew his amp check your entire lenght of power cable and check for any cuts in the wire coz if there is its shorting out by touching the car if this is the case and you just wire it straight up again itll blow the second amp | |

Could have been a dodgy earth or incorrect bridging. | |

looks fine to me. Is the amp bridgeable? Is the sub single or dual voice coil too? You might not be showing the amp the right impedence ofthe sub if it is DVC wired up wrong. | |

My girlfriend had an amp n sub in her old corsa which I put in myself.........I then removed everythin the other day and put it in her new car.......it was in and playing for about 10 minutes then the amp just packed in (protect light came on), the headunit still plays fine tho. |
