Problem with Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier No response from amp I have a sony XM 554ZR 600 watt amp and the power protect light goes from green to red almost immediately after I turn it on. Any idea whats wrong? I have a sony XM 554ZR 600 watt amp and the power protect light goes from green to red almost immediately after I turn it on. so what can i do now?? ======= They go into protect for several reasons. Unless you are a trained technician you should not try to repair it yourself. It may have a blown channel. Disconnect the speakers and try turning it on again. If it still goes into protect you have a serious problem. If it does not go into protect, you may just have a bad speaker, or have the impedance too low for that amp. The smartest thing to do would be to take it to a repair center and have them test it to find out if the problem is in the amp or in the wiring/speakers. === I had a few sony amps, and they don't do well as far as i a...

Problem with Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier Quick question about the power I have the 12volt live wire connected to the car battery, and a remote wire connected to the aux power supply..... The amp works and everything is fine. My question is, when the car is off, the power light (green) is still on. IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE???...the reason why I ask is because, me being a moron, spliced the live 12v wire from the battery to both terminals (REM & 12v), of course the amp worked fine, but overnight it completely drained the battery ( had to get a new battery), I don't want the same thing to happen again. The remote turn on terminal on the amp needs to be connected to a switched power source. Typically, it's the remote turn-on/power antenna wire on the head unit. If your head unit doesn't have such a control wire, connect the remote turn-on terminal to a wire that's controlled by the ignition switch.  It's VERY important to fuse all of the...

Problem with Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier Amp wont kick on I have the power to + and grounded, i don't have remote tho do i need that, and i only have one fuse on the actual amp there's 2 slots for fuses tho but my cousin said i only need on and that's the one on the side closet to power and ground. You have to install the remote wire or it will not work. I'd put in the other fuse as well just in case you have the fuse in the wrong slot or it needs both fuses. OR The amp will not turn on until it receives 12v via the remote turn on. Also, if your amp has two fuse slots, I would make sure they were both filled with the appropriate fuses.

SUB WOOFER NOT WORKING LIKE ORIGINAL Problem with Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier 10 inch subs need help I have 10 inch subs in my car i don't know why but they wont really hit like if you turn the amp all the way up and stuff it vibrates a little bit just not like real subs should like it dont bounce the part its supposed to what is the problem i know the amp is very strong but why would it not still make them bounce???? It sounds like the wiring either to the amp or to the subs is put together wrong. This can be because you have them setup in stereo but have the sub on bridge mode or vica versa. This can also be from how you ran the audio input wither from speakers or rca..either wired wrong or the switch for the two options is wrong. Also make sure your gain is turned up. Sound also depends on what kind of box it is in. It HAS to be in a box.

Problem with Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier I have 1000 watt sony XPLOD amp and i just I have 1000 watt sony XPLOD amp and i just installed it today. with new monster cable&ground. the green light turns on& thumping goes for a little. i try to raise up just a little bit& after 2 thumps my amp light turns red.. whats happening?? =========== I think if I'm correct you are running to many speakers and have your ohm load to low for the amp causing it to go into protection. 1 single voice coil speaker equals 4 ohms for every speaker you have divide 4 ohms by number of speakers (ie. 2 single voice coil speakers equals 2 ohms or 1 dual voice coil speaker equals 2 ohms) this is for parallel wiring. For series wiring do the opposite if you have 2 speakers you are running an ohm load of 8 ohms the same for a dual voice coil ran in series. Series is positive on the amp to positive on hook up A negative of hook up A to positive of hook up B negative of h...

Problem with Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier Free amp problems I was given an sony xplod 500watt car amp but the red light is on for the out put. my question is is it worth it to repair it or just toss it. As you are probably aware the red light would be the circuit protection. If you are confident with electronics it could be worth repairing yourself as the component parts are reletively cheap but that depends on how you feel about fault finding and soldering or do you know someone who you could ask to take a look and possibly do the work for you. It might be worth getting a quote before tossing it in the bin though.

Problem with Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier Wont stop going in to power protect mode I have a sony XM554ZR amplifier installed in my car. I have checked and double checked the wiring but still it will only go in to power protect mode. Any advice / suggestions are welcome. I have an amp installed but can not get it to come out of power protect mode. All wiring and fuses have been checked. I have disconnected all RCA and speaker wires and put a multimeter accross the ground / power (14.4 result) and accross the ground / rem (14.25 result) Does this mean that the amp is blown or is there any thing else that I should try? does it still do it with speaker disconnected? iuf not then speakers are issue.otherwise amplifier needs to be replaced.

Problem with Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier My sounds cuts off and then my green power light My sounds cuts off and then my green power light starts to blink This sounds like you are having a problem with the ground wire.

The end of the wire or connector should be firmly grounded under a nut for example.

Problem with Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier How do I hook up a sub woofer to my Sony 52wx4 radio. I dont have a wiring diagram? You can hook it up a couple of ways. Depending on how many subs you have and what ohms they are running at here is the chart you need. If your going to run one sub off it the last option is the way to go. Your going to need to find out the power of your subs or else the power could be off and you could blow the sub. If the rms power is higher than 130watts per coil you will be fine. If so there are four channels on the amp and two should show a line going to each other that says bridge. Hook up the positives and the negative of the subs as shown on the amp that will get your max power. If your sub is running at 4 ohm. Let me know, if not thats how you would do it. Also for the power and remote wires. Hook up a power wire (16 gauge would be plenty fine) from the battery to the + terminal of the amp. Then take an equal or bigger sized wire from ...
