Kmazzeo26 · 31st May 2010, 11:53 PM

My amp was working about 5 minutes ago powering a 10 inch kicker subwoofer. It stopped powering the sub but is still on and the short light is one. Cna someone please help me figure this out. Thanks

The first thing you should do is remove the speaker wires from the speaker terminals on the amp to see if it still indicates that there's a short.

There's no reset. It likely has shorted output transistors.
