Hello all.
I drive an 03 cavalier with many upgrades, one of which is an alpine amp and 2 10" kenwood subs. i have had this system for about 2 1/2 years and had no problems with it until now.
this may be due to the fact that i have wired up some other electronic items into the same line as the power to my amp.
driving home one night my subs just stopped working... it was very hot outside and i figured that the amp may have gotten too hot and self-shut down. the next morning i started my car and the amp worked fine. late rthat day, with the volume not up and normal, my amp shut down again... it wasn't hot out this time, though.
So i checked my ground connections and all was ok. the power was hooked up and the amp was on, but the subs weren't doing anything.
the display of my amp reads: CURR.
i checked what this means and it says this:
the amp has been shutdown due to excessive current.
find and eliminate the cause of the excessive current, then turn the power off then back on from the remote control unit.
ok, the excessive current makes sense since i have recently rewired some things, including fog lights and nitrous. i took off all the wires from my battery except for the power line for the amp. i reconnected all the other wires from my amp to my subs and upon starting the amp back up by turning on the ignition it will make a sound like it wants to play the music but then immeadiately shuts off and gives the error message CURR...
I am not sure how there is any excessive current now since the only line to my battery is the power for the amp itself.
anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions?
may need to reset the amp somehow?
