amp isnt toasted, but the tweeter wasnt connected when it died. Ground wires are all very secure and connected. maybe there is something wrong with one of my crossovers ?

if one tweeter is bad, it could cause a dead short across the coil and put the amp into protection mode.
could also have been a bad ground or a bad wire connection somewhere..
if the amp isn't toasted, that clicking is usually a faulty ground point

maybe its because one of my tweets is bad and that side is showing a different impediance then the other side ? I dont know....who knows ? no one knows, least of all me!

Well. This hobby still ceases to amaze me. I pulled out the speaker/remote wire(s) plug and undid the power and ground wire from their plug. I took apart the ampl, nothing obviously burnt, no bad smells. All the caps looked fine etc etc. I bent a few pieces that were touching and shouldnt be. Put the cover back on and reconnected everything. re-checked my speaker connections, all good. I turn the power on, everythings good agian. I love/hate this hobby.

okay, so the PPI art a600.2 I got off ebay died today. It started cutting out and before I could turn off the head unit it stopped. I thought it might of overheated or maybe a wire shook loose, but nope. Everything is strapped down tight, where it belongs, and still no good. When I power up the only thing that happens is the amp emmits a low clicking like sound. Its a very very fast clicking. The power led does not light, nor does the low impediance light.
