Here I go again guys. I thought I blew one of my orion 2500's at a show a few weeks ago. I just pulled it and pulled the cover off and I can't find any problems. Amp powers up, acts fine. It was the lead amp in a chain, and the remote gain still works, just no output from this particular amp.
Any suggestions what might have happened? I just can't find anything on the board that is bad.
Thanks again

you know what your doing but make sure the rcas are good and the make sure you have signal going in, then check the rcs output. but it does sound like its burnt.

was running at .3 ohm, and power dropped to quickly, so I'm sure it burned something up, just can't find it.

Is it possible that it would not come out of protect without being unhooked from power for a longer time. I just hooked it back up to test to be sure, and it powered up and worked, but I cannot push it to it's potential as my car is taken apart to get to it-it is hooked up in my wifes car, and it is only setup to hand a few hundred watts-i've blown 2 32amp fuses testing it.
