    Brand new SAZ-1500D keeps going into protection mode

    Gain is set at 1/2 way up. Bass boost all the way down cuz I don't really need it. I know it says recommended 1/0 gauge, but I was tight on money back then so I had to settle for a 2/0 awg. No doubt i'm going to re-wire my system to 1/0awg all around, it just a matter of time. i'll try new...

    Brand new SAZ-1500D keeps going into protection mode

    I used a DMM just now and my voltage is at 14.1 idle and drops down to 12.3v-13.4v around volumes 50/80 Gains are all the way down and no bass boost is being used. I'm running a 15" DVC TC-3000 wired in parallel if that helps. how am I clipping if that's the case?

    Sundown amp crapped on me..

    I disconnected the RCA's, and I disconnected the wires going to the sub amp still turns on in protection mode All i'm waiting on is an e-mail from Ben/Kevin from Low-hz for my invoice, so I can send it to Jacob @ Sundown so he can check it out. I've been having no sub for almost 2 weeks now...

    Sundown amp crapped on me..

    So unplug the RCA's from my sundown, and disconnect the ground wire (black) and leave the power wire (red) and then turn on my car? Thanks for being so patient guys

    Sundown amp crapped on me..

    Amp Grounds I checked my sub, and my sub wiring. Everything seems cool. and to those saying unplug everything... do you mean take the screw out and then take the wires out? Everything but the power wire and I was on the freeway when it blew (if that matters)

    New Battery...or New Alternator?

    I in no way do not have the cash for it. I'm a college student, and I worked 5 months 40+ hr week getting paid $13/hr in order to get the equipment. After working and saving, I quit my job to focus on school, which meant I had to use what I saved up to survive. Thankfully school ends in a week...
