Ya thanks, you were right about the amp size, i will check it out when i go home for lunch, this is the first day my boat has not been at my office for over six months, now i need it here, funny how that works

If the amp settings are correct, I would ohm out the tower speakers wires next, you may have one pinched under the tower leg.

Pull the leads from the amp, put DVOM leads across the + and - and check the resistance. Should be 4 ohms, maybe a shade over due to the length of wire. What you are really looking for is near zero resistance cause be the short.

Sounds like your tower speaker amp is going in to protect mode. May be due to a low impedance problem (short in tower speaker wires for example) or gains set too high.

Whats a impedance problem?

Is that when you cant get it up???

[ragboy]

Yes, and you have to be careful. Sometimes when you fix the low impedance problem, your amp will stick at full output for up to 12 hours and you have to take it in for service.

yuk yuk yuk...



Let us know what you find; sorry for hijacking the thread with the innuendo...

It also happens when you take VI-AMP-RA!

ROFLMAO

[jwanck11]

Then what happens when you take Ci - amp- liss??

[philwsailz]

You have up to 36 hours to get your EQ, gain, and crossover settings dialed in...

[philwsailz]

You know, when the time is right....

[da.bell]

Any more, you will have to get it AMP-utated.

LOL...

Thats nothing to get amped about!

you guys are just wrong, plain wrong, but I like it
