im a diy person ive got a small 400 watt amp and it will only play a clip of sound for a split second before it goes into protected mode.

everything is fine no speaker wires are crossed, what could be the problem?
is it something internal in the amp?

and how would i go about fixing it?
thanx

 

what do you have connected to it, and what kind of amp is it. Does it go into protect mode with no speakers wired up?

 

idk its a no name amp i got at a swapmeet. and yes it goes into protected mode even with no speakers connected

 

Make sure all your power connects are good. Then open it up and do a visual look to see if you see any damaged components.
