stereo gurus please help amp question
all my equip is w/in a few months old and has worked perfectly until today. first let me state i just installed a engine ground kit last night. I dont believe this would do anything, but everything worked fine before. any way my component amp went into fault mode, any suggestions what to start checking first? like i said all eqiup is new and has been in perfect working order for the 4-5 months, and no changes except installing a engine ground kit last night?

If you unhook the speakers and it still goes into fault, unplug the inputs next. If it still goes into fault with nothing more than +12v, gnd, and remote hooked up, you have a problem w/ the amp.
On the other hand, if you unplug the speakers, and the fault goes away, thats generally an impedance issue. Either you may have bad wiring, or possibly a melted voice coil, etc.
