I still shop there, get all my connectors n leads n stuff, but yeah no more amps n stuff.

Last night i had the new month old 4x50w playin up, signal related, would just go into protect when rca's were connected, bashed it a couple times n presto she fired up again.

Good bashin always fixes a POS no matter what it is.

Anyways id put sum new pics up coz she all clean n sub has been strapped down n carpeted in nice smicko blackness looks alot better than plain ol MDF, but i forgot to bring in my USB cable

Sooo this amp is giving me the ****'s, dont buy a responce amp if its runnin 2ohm they dont like it.

Ive gotta test it, what way do use think would be the easiest way to find the fault.

When in "protect" i pull out the rca's n it goes back to "on" start puttin em back in n its goes back intio "protect" but not all the time, sumtimes it will for couple times, then works.

WHat im goin to do nxt time it f's up
1, remove all speaker connections at the speakers, with amp still in protect.
2, see if it goes back to on with out speakers connected but with speaker wire still in place
3, If still in protect start pullin out rca's one by one until it goes to "on"
4, once it goes back to on ill start connecting up the speakers until it goes to protect.

Gotta find where this fault is, atm, last time i was playin with the rca's when it was stuffin up it would jump outta protect once all rca's were removed n go back to it as soon as one was put it.

Mite just rip out the old rca's put in sum decent shielded ones soo they dont get chomped by anythink 'AKA BOX'

Got a feelin tho that this is just anohter amp my 2ohm JBL splits have killed, already done my h/u amp n a JBL 500w 4ch.

Should go get sum 'fulli sick jaycar kevlar splits" eh rabbit

Found the god damm problem, bloody elec tape that goes on the body between the rear speakers n the shelf its bolted to had come off, soo the left speaker was just touchin the body n makin it go into protect.

Took me couple min to find the prob soo peeeed off it was that speaker its done it many off times, fort it was sweet tho.

Least its not my crappy 100 buck 4ch
