From: SAZ 1000D goes to protection when input signal

Do you have another source like an iPod with an RCA adapter you can try ?

Brilliant idea!

I just hooked up my camcorder with RCA out, and it worked like a charm. I even hooked up the sub box and was able to feel the Sub moving.

I was just BARELY moving though, probably because the camcorder wasn't putting out much low end (I guess)

So, it doesn't appear to be the AMP as I thought. All signs are now pointing at the Sub-Thump wiring harness. I'll check there now.

Thanks for the help.

Update:

I hooked up some computer speakers to the RCA cables out from the Sub-Thump harness. They worked flawlessly, and they're amplified. So it's doesn't appear to be the sub-thump harness.

I took the same RCA cables that were working on the computer speakers, and when I touched the first one to the Sundown Amp, it went into protection mode.

I tried both RCA cables, and even the BR IN spot, every time the protection LED lit immediately.

So, I guess it's a bad Amp. Crud, I guess it happens sometimes.

Update #2:

Ok, I just bought a RCA adapter for my Droid phone. I hooked the output of the Droid to the inputs on the Amp and BOOM! Got some thump out of my Sub.

Tried the RCA from the Car, and instant protection mode.

I am SO confused right now.

Why do other amplified speakers work with the Car's RCA cables but not the Sundown Amp?

And why does everything else work with the Sundown Amp?

I could really use some help, this is freaking me out.
