sony xplod 500watt car amp Red light Reset Repair

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.

Sony Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier going in to power protect mode

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.

Sony Xplod Car Audio Amplifier sound cuts off then power led blinks

My sounds cuts off and then my green power light

This sounds like you are having a problem with the ground wire. When the amp is not properly grounding the amp will loose power the light will flicker and your speakers will stop working. 

Make sure the ground wire for the amp (the black wire) is grounded correctly. The end of the wire or connector should be firmly grounded under a nut for example.
