Amp protected light is on???
Im connecting a sound system in my car and the subwoffers dont turn on. I have good power, a good remote, and good ground. I used a test light so I know the follwing is all good. For some reason there is no power out of the amp speaker exits. Any ideas on wat i should do??? Theres also a protected red light that is on.

What is the make and model of the amp?
If a protection light is on on an amp with no speakers connected to it the amp, as mentioned, is toast, probably blown output stage. 94

Try that.
If it does it only when the speakers are hooked, there is a short in them. Meaning, a toasted voice coil (or voice coils). Check each sub individually with a ohm meter. Check the speaker connections in the box as well.
