Question

So i have a 1400W BOSS AMP (W-675 1400 WATT 2 Channel MOSFET) and it keep going into protect mode, i know its not the speakers because it happens even when i only have the power,ground, and remote connected to it, Please help i really like this amp

Answer 1

i believe that amp is 2 ohm stable mono, make sure the speakers arent 2 ohms as well if you have it bridged, if so you are cutting the resistance on the amp to 1 ohm, which will cause the amp to heat up and go into protection mode. when you bridge an amp the amount of resistance(OHMs) is cut in half. the lower the OHM the lower the resistance. the less resistance the more power. that amp can only handle an ohm load of 2 or higher. so if you bridge the speakers, use 4ohm speakers.



try buying a amp fan, i have one thats shaped like a cylinder and puts out some air. also keeps my amp cool. only cost about $40

Answer 2

you need to reset your amplifier

pull the fuses out and put them back in

if the amp doesnt reset then most likely it is in need of repair

afterwards if the amp is able to reset

rewire your subwoofers properly

most likely at a minimum 4ohm bridged

Answer 3

read the amp papers cuz it tells u to make sure that u have the volts on the right level or read the specs for ur deck it should say how much volts to put the amp on

Answer 4

could be a number of things

your wiring (do you have the correct impedance/ohms at the amp, make sure its not too low)

is your amp powerful enough for the subs

is it too powerful

for a good answer you need to name the model of your subs (RMS wattage, number of voice coils, speakers impedance/ohms)

it could just be the amp (you get what you pay for)
