Why does my amp keep cutting off when I turn it up?

Solution: This can be caused by too low of an impedance from the way the speakers are wired, and sometimes a poor charging system (if the amp goes into protect when the volume is turned up). That’s the most common cause for an amplifier to go into protection.

What should I do if my amplifier won’t turn on?

If staying on, reconnect one speaker at a time, turn volume levels up and down as you add more speakers. If amplifier turns itself off when speakers connected, check their impedance, check the wiring of the speaker that caused it to stop working.

Why does my amplifier turn on then shut off?

Jeff, According to some forums, etc. that I read possible causes are amp. shutting off, is over heating, speakers are the wrong impedance 4 Ohms instead of 8, too many speakers connected to a channel, damaged/pinched/frayed wire. Disconnect all speaker wires from the amplifier, see if it still shutting off.
