your gunna need to give us alil more than that. sometimes a red light means the amps turned on, sometimes it means its in protection mode, you need to give us the make and model of amp.

Put a 9v batt to your sub and see if your sub is okay. Run through a list for us so we know you have everything hooked up right. What kinda amp and sub are they?

My freind's amp turns on also. But it is blown internally.

I would get a new amp, sony sucks.

How do you have this thing hooked up? Do you have a good ground? Right size wire for power and ground? Right size fuse. How do you have your gains set on the amp? No that amp is not good. It is from walmart. And that sony sub isn't great ether. If you wanna keep the sub. Ditch the amp and look into a JBL 300.1 or JBL 150.2 that should get you bumpin.
