New question? What would cause the speakers in the front to stop playing? Today while in the car they just stopped, and the amp not blinks back and fourth from the red protect light, to the green power light?
I checked all the fuses and no problems there?

Sooo, how do I figure out which one? ha
I'll go through the wiring with a DMM but the wiring looks to be fine, I disconnected the speaker wires and still does the same thing. When everything is setup as the light switches from red to green, I can hear a very slight pop/sub noise from the speakers on both sides.
I checked the PA manual and it just doesn't say what the red/green blinking means anywhere???
I know PA isn't the BEST equipment, but I thought they were alteast somewhat reputable, do you really think the amp is bad? I mean it's got a 1-year warranty but still, bad already?

Measured from the battery terminal to the amp, I've got 7Ohms through the Ground, and 13Ohms through the Power.

Any idea what would cause this to happen? I'm more than capable with electronics and I just can't see anything I did that would cause this. I never connected or disconnected anything without first disconnecting the battery (which is odd that I've got the whine since most say the Pioneer HU's only do this when you connect/disconnect the RCA's with power as it blows the Pico fuse)

Even the best electronics have an ocasional failure right out of the box. Many more are just hanging on for a few hours of use before they quit.
I fix things for a living, I would absolutely LOVE IT if someone could develop electronics that didn't fail

Anyways they said to just send it back, at least instead of developing electronics that don't fail, someone invented the warranty!
