I've got a sony 4 channel amp. The model # is XM 554ZR. Anyways, I've been having some trouble hooking this thing up. I have the power and ground secure, and the remote wire runs off the fuse box up front. All these wires are fully connected and I have no problems with this. I can turn the music up as loud, adjust the settings however, set the gain where ever and the amp is fine - THIS IS WITHOUT THE RCA INPUTS... as soon as I touch the RCA cable to the amp, it goes into protect mode... What's up? The car is a 06 Pontiac G6. The headunit is a monsoon, and it does not have aux outputs, SO I have two Y cables (from bare wire end to a single RCA end) running to each channel (only the rear) of the amp. They run off of two 6x9 speakers in the top of the trunk. Please help... Thanks
By the sounds of it your not using the correct part to convert the High level speaker inputs to a low level input for your amplifier to see. Are you just hacking a rca straight into the speaker leads? This would be the problem, you need a line output converter to do this right. Read the directions on the converter and your all set. If for some reason it still gives your a problem after installing the correct converter then it may be the rca is grounding out internally on the amps input causing a short and the amp is trying to protect itself from frying. Hope this helps..
