However local repair shops may be cheaper if it is just a small repair. Many have flat repair rates that are very affordable and cover parts and labor as well as return shipping. If you believe your amplifier is defective contact the manufacturer first.Rear decks and door panels can easily touch unprotected speaker terminals if not properly installed. Also check that the speaker wire or speaker terminals aren't touching the vehicle metal near the speaker opening. Check to make sure that a speaker wire isn't being pinched somewhere between the amp and the speaker. If the speaker wires cause the problem then they are probably touching metal. Then add the speaker wires one at a time. If the amp is OK in this torn down state start reconnecting wires until you find what causes the problem.Don't let the amp touch the screws used to moun the wood board and don't use screws so long to mount the amp that they go through the board and touch the vehicle. An easy way to accomplish this is to mount the amplifier to a wood board and then mount the board to the vehicle. Always mount the amplifier to a non-conductive surface. Mounting the amplifier to the metal of the vehicle, including putting the mounting screws into metal, can cause problems for your amplifier. Remember that an amplifier should only be connected to the vehicle through the power and ground terminals.If you still have a problem in this state then either your amp is defective or you may have an installation problem such as the amplifier touching metal. Remove all of the speaker wiring and RCA wiring and leave only the power, ground and remote leads connected. Get the amp down to it's most basic state. Did the amp malfunction as soon as it was turned on? Did it happen after blasting for hours (may be thermal overload and it needs to cool)? Did it cut out after you hit a bump (a wire connection may have come loose)? Knowing what happened before it quit working can help determine how to fix it. Amplifiers can go into protection mode for several reasons. Here's a brief troubleshooting method that will hopefully help you if your amplifiers ever go into protection. One minute it's working and the next minute it's not, usually with the green power LED on the amp turning to red or orange. One of the more confusing car stereo problems can be when an amplifier goes into protection mode. Amplifier Protection Mode Troubleshooting
