Audio Systems: Jensen amp, meantime check, led light


Question
Hello I have a JENSEN XA-3022LX AMP. when I power it up the red led light comes on and then goes off I can not get it to stay on I have all my connections correct.

Answer
The output section of the amp is most likely fried.  The amp is in "protect" mode meaning that the outputs are shut down.  This unit needs to see a repair shop.  In the meantime, check all of the wiring for shorts to ground.  That is the most common cause of amp problems.
To verify that the wiring is not the problem, try turning on the amp with no speakers connected.  If the amp starts up, there is definately a wiring problem.  If it does not start up, the problem is within the amp.
