[Crossy_014]

i am having a few problems with my amps

look at the diagram below

ok amp 1 goes into protection mode when i turn amp 2 on

All looks fine there, what are each amp running?

Is it possible to swap the speakers / subwoofers over from one amp to another?

EDIT: Also try swapping over the RCAs or inputs.

thanks for the quick reply

yeah tried that mate but the same amp is going into protection

all te power wires and remote wires are running tied together

just wondering if i should seperate the remote wire from the power cables?

i always though to run power on a seperate side to remote/rca/speaker cable and i have run two amps with no problems using this method, maybe worth a try?
Cheers mate.

Make sure your speakers or at least one of them are not going to earth!

It's so easy to have a lug at the mounted speaker touching the body of the car.

Good luck.

Seperating the power / remote / RCAs wont fix an amp going into protect.

Monaro6 maybe right there about a speaker cable shorting etc.

So you have tried swapping over the speakers / subwoofers from the 1st amp to the second?
