sony 2 channel amp not working

i have recently installed 1200 watt sony 2 channel amp and 4 ohm dual voice coil 12 played for a few minutes and quit lights work  protect light not working please help fuses good

Did you wire it 2 ohm mono?   Do you have an AGU type fuse anywhere in the power path of the amp?  If so did you check it with a meter?   Did you play it so hard that you may have taken the woofer out?

if ur gettin 12 and remote and grd sounds as if rca are bad or sub siezed

Sony Xplod, 1200W for $200. Mmmm . . . Try another speaker, measure voltage. How did you have the sub wired?

THERE'S a tip that's gonna help the guy answer his questions... Just go replace your huge POS amp with a slightly smaller POS amp. Sony and Kenwood are cut from the same cloth, my friend!It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Oh well, live and learn. It may be a POS, but it's MY POS."That'll get ya 10 in Leavenworth,11 in Twelveworth, or 5 & 10 in Woolworth". Groucho Marx                                                      

mrarff, did you wire the voice coils in parallel on the woofer, and then bridge the amplifier? If so, you were running that amplifier at 1 ohm per channel, a load far beyond where I would ever run anything with a Sony badge on it. If this IS the case, it is very likely that you have cooked your amp, sorry to say. With that woofer you are stuck with 4 ohms per channel, by either wiring the voice coils in series, THEN bridging the amp to it, or wiring one voice coil to each channel of the amplifier in stereo mode. Let us know what you did, from wiring the woofer, to powering the amplifier, to troubleshooting the failure, and maybe there is some other suggestion somebody could make.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice.

"Sony amp not working" is sort of like saying "water is wet."  It's a given.Support the12volt.com

Hey 4 star...where did all of that come from? Runnig subs, paralell posts, best I can do at my age is to chase young ladies (over the age of 35). Don't know where all of your issues come from,perhaps that comes from all those stars."That'll get ya 10 in Leavenworth,11 in Twelveworth, or 5 & 10 in Woolworth". Groucho Marx
