guys i got a problem and i cant figure out what it is. my MM4000.1 is jumping into protect and wont come out of it. i check all the wires disconeccted the woofer wires and it still wont come out of it i disconnected everything and reconnected it. still nothing goes into protect in like 5 seconds. i think i know what your gonna tell me but i dont think i want to hear it... help!!! it started this last night driving out to dinner music was low so i didnt realize it but i looked down and the bass remote was glowing red... shut off HU restart then i hear a loud pop and into protect it goes... did this once more and i shut it off. so whats the word?

ouch...

is this the one you were running at .7 ohms?


i think you probably already know the answer bill.....its hard to let a loved one go sometimes but.............just remember the good times

no it only ran at .7 ohm for burps its running at 2.8 and it should be fine.

Yeah if you disconect the speaker wires and it still goes into protect then its probably fried. Try disconectint the RCAs too, and see what it does then.

Honestly it sounds like a short on the output stage. Sorry man.

A glowing bass remote sounds really bad.

lol the bass remote lights up blue for good and red for bad lol. nah its no big deal ill send it in to maxxsonics and have it repaired thank god im on this team lol

found out whats wrong pulled the cover off the amp and started inspecting...
