Amp Went into Protect Mode

I was driving the other day and randomly my amp went into protect mode and no I didn't hit a bump. I then turned off my car and back on and it came back on then 5 minutes later off again and no it wasn't overheated. Now it stays in protect mode. Since I turned my car off and back on and my amp came back on it makes me believe there is nothin wrong with my amp and my subs are not blown either. So any suggestion appreciate it.:confused:
 


its the speaker wire try replacing the speaker wire. if not than it has to do with dc signals and all this other junk i dont know much about
 
if you have the manual read that. or google it, same thing happened to me but i was too lazy so i have about 1300 dollars of car audio sitting in my garage because of the stupid amps i got pissed and took everything out
 
Are you 100% sure your subs aren't blown? I had this same problem and I "knew" my subs weren't blown until we looked closer and one was blown. Also does it cut out when you have it really loud or just randomly happens at any volume.
 


Thx for all the advice but it turned out my amp just took a s*** :( Good thing my brother has like three amps so i am going to just buy it :th_thumbsup-wink: Thx again guys
 
If that's true a capacitor blew or it was wired wrong and the "bump" was a coincidence. Make sure you load the next amp properly. DB-R electronics or ZED Audio will fix the other amp. If it's a cap that went bad it won't cost much.
 
That happened to me and a few buddies we all thought the amp was blown, id say double check and make sure its grounded very well, if thats a no go either one of your subs may be blown or in my case the wire inside the box on the speaker was disconnected, hooked it back up and the beats were beating again :th_thumbsup-wink:

Well my system was beatin' for a while so maybe a capacitor blew how much is that?
 


always check rca cables they go bad often!!! I did autosound for a living for few years.. Also if you have dvc speakers you can have one coil in one speaker go bad and it will cause your amp to go in protect
 
There are many types of caps used in an amp so no one could tell you since it varries based on whats in there and what you want to replace it with quality wise.
