I just purchased a JBL GTO1201.1 amp off of ebay to replace my old HiFonics 1000d amp that blew. There was a about 2-3 months where I went without an amp so maybe things may have shifted a little bit in my car. But the problem is when I hooked up the JBL amp I didnt get any power and none of the lights lit up at all. But as I was driving today the amp all of a sudden just turned on. It was on for about 5-10 mins and then the protection light came on for about 10 seconds and then all the lights were off again. But for those 5-10 mins the music was POUNDING my 12" Alpine Type-R's. I checked the ground n redid it much better. What else could it be?? Any suggestions??
please help asap! I went to the shop and there trying to charge me $45 just to look at it.
