I first had them hooked up in a series/parallel to equal a 4 ohm load...this worked just fine but I decided I wanted it louder. So then next hooked them up in a parallel/parallel to equal a 1 ohm load. When I went to turn it on, there was a some funny noise (static type stuff, but no actual normal bass sound). Then it just shut off. Now it won't turn on at all. I hooked up my old amp exactly how this new kenwood was hooked up and that works just fine. Is there any method to reset the amp or anything i can do to get it to turn on. I have tried unhooking it and hooking it back up, and i have also taken the fuses out and they are fine. Thanks |
