Sounds like it was over drained. Shouldn't be too much trouble to repair ie, if the correct electrician is working on it. Please post the solution afterwards for general knowledge...

Hmmm... yeah amps tend to do that when "over drained"... also check all gas kits and seals and make sure everything bolt up tight so it wont over drain again :wink:

..Oh my i must be late with all these new terms..over drained meaning faulty caps that aren't charging??..just trying to make sense..

You know, it's amazing how literal ppl take the wrong things...
I was talking about the draining caused by the possible impedance with the speaker not being wired properly.

Typical trinis. Have nothing good to say, and asserting yuh ego.

But all yuh fellas 'bright'. So fix.

Doh take we on man.... we jus playin

Most likely the guy's amp was Over Driven..... maybe his gain was set too high or as you correctly said the impedance was too low because of incorrect wiring and he Overload it.

The cheaper amps on the market come with only basic protection that aren't too good at sensing a fault and shutting down before damage happens. The best advice was given by Pioneer... Just buy better equipment.

No hard feelings......

i'm not trying to degrade you son...you just used the wrong term in the electronics discussion.
it's not overdrained, we know it as using it full tilt, once you don't match the speakers impedance the output have to go thru too much therefore increasing the voltage in the powersupply stage in the amp to cater for the mismatch speakers therefore either causing the protection circuit to trip off or worse yet, blow a fet or the outputs followed by a chain reaction of resistors, diodes and a few items.
