i bought a brand new kicker ZX1500.1 amp and mounted it on the back seat of my 2002 CIVIC. replaced all the exisiting wiring with 0 gauge power and grnd wire. using the right size ANL fuse along with the remote wire. for some reason the amp LED flickers between Green(Power) and Red(Protection). i dont know wat to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Also checked the volts on the wires im getting about 14 with the car ON.

try checking the resistance of the speakers, if the resistance (ohms) is too low then the amp is seeing too much load and thus tricking the amp into seeing an overload situation

Don't have anything connected except a 0 gauge power wire with 150 Amp kicker ANL fuse 0 gauge grnd wire and the remote wire.

Does anyone know if the product was purchased from US and was shipped to Canada. which waanty would apply Canadian or US

I believe either or(warranty), If it flickers, Is your car running while this is happening?

umairbs

yea whether the car is on or off it does that... i also have the the gauges over my steering and i can check the volts on my battery thru tat aswell it shows im getting 14 somethng when its ON and 12 when OFF

i hope the warranty applies at gemsen.com in canada coz i dont wanna ship it to US.

what i meant by the load is - how are the speakers wired - in series? or in parallel? how many ohms are the voice coils? and what resistance is the amp rated for? if you have a 4 ohm amp seeing a 2ohm load its overloading. hope this helps

umairbs

hmm ill look into that... stupid question.. wat would the load be if no speakers or RCAs watsoever is hooked up.. coz i doesnt wanna stabalize even when nothing is hooked up

kmatharoo

ok with no load at all,,, the only thing i can think of is make sure your ground is perfect, sand down the paint under the contact point if you have to

i'm running out of ideas

Is the car on or off when this happens?
Does the amp still put out sound as well when this hapens?
