    Sundown amps stuck in protect after going too loud

    pulled out the head unit and grounded the rcas with the wire wrap around trick. also noticed my ground on the head unit was the stock one so i gave it a new ground. still nothing. didn't get to test the amps in my other car so that update will be tomorrow.
