1:16 Finally a troubleshooting guy that actually test the voltage! I can't count how many YouTubers just skip the voltage like Amp regulators never fail!

Great video .. no bullshit. Just facts. Very good at making the way things work and how to use meter understandable..

I got one for ya. More frequently now, my amp will cut out. If I turn the bass up or volume up, it will come back on for a bit then cut off again. Sometimes it won't come back on at all.

Great video, troubleshooting a problem and you literally gave me the grocery list of things to test, amazing stuff

[dapv]

Right on time my good friend. Great video.

I have been the whole weekend fighting with this exact problem with my amo, low voltage in the positive and perfect on the remote cable. I did check the fuse, it does look fine me. So as soon I can today I will replace the fuse if that doesn’t fixed the I’ll run a new wire. Thank you and I let you know what happens.

Thank you so much for taking time to make this 🙌

[vetten]

This really helped. My new amp doesn’t work. Thanks….

[msburrage]

So a blown speaker can make the amp go into protect mode? I do have one blown speaker and when I turn it up to loud my amp light will turn red and stop working. I bought the rockville 8in sub and amp combo so I know the amp is right for these speakers also.

JP, great video man, And if you touched on this in the video, forgive me. Cause I completely missed it LOL. My subwoofer seems to cut off once I turn the volume to a certain level. When I looked at my amp I see it is in protect mode. If I keep the volume lower. Nothing happens but as soon as I turn it up Protect mode kicks in and subwoofer cuts out. Which of the tests you showed applied to that or did you not cover that specifically? I would appreciate your help brother

[bassface]

Great advice on the OFC spend a little more save yourself from issues down the road.
