I just finished my wall build (for now) and I put my subs in and everything was fine but then my my amp went into protect. I took the RCA's out and it would still go into protection mode. I unplugged the subs and it would do the same thing. I can hear the amp click and it makes a loud turn on pop but it immediately goes in protection mode. I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem? Thanks and if anybody has any advice, let me know!

un do the back cover and look to see if the back plate hit the big coils in the amp there will be lil burn marks on the inner back side of the back plate.
if so send it back to power bass this amp had its probs back in the day but the amps when preped right sure do very well good luck

looks a lot like what just happened to my MM3000.1 last week.
pop one of those heatsink clips off. i use a small right-angle allen key stuck in that center hole near the chassis. Are those IRFP064N's with those 47ohm resistors? Did they all pop, or just half of them? the 4 closest to the center of the board on each side?

here are a couple things that we can do here. If you still have the receipt and it's still under warranty you can call in, get an RA#, and we'll warranty it for you. If it's no longer under warranty, or you don't have a receipt for it (They are pretty strict about this) then you can call me and I'll get you in touch with a friend of ours in Kentucky who repairs our amps. They get parts from us, and have our schematics.

I had the amplifier mounted on the back of my wall, which is pretty sturdy. It all of a sudden stopped working. The components in the pictures are the only things that fried.

never mount an amp to a box even if u think its strong it still vibrates and can break a leg off a FET and then cause other things to blow also i would just get in touch with jay like in above post and let there guy fix it for u

HOPEFULLY YOU BOUGHT IT FROM AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HAVE YOUR RECIEPT OF PURCHASE, POWERBASS WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. I FEEL THEY ARE ONE OF THE MOST HELPFUL COMPANIES OUT THERE!
