What to do if the PowerBass ACA-240.2 red status protection LED is on?

  corey56Aug 11, 2025
  If the red status protection LED is on, there are several potential causes: * **Thermal protection:** This might be engaged. Ensure the speaker terminals have the correct impedance and that there's enough air flow around the amplifier. * **Voltage protection:** The voltage to the amplifier may not be within the 10-16 VDC operating range. Inspect the battery and charging system. * **Short circuit protection:** There may be shorted speaker wires or the speakers are operating below the minimum impedance. Check for speaker wires shorted to each other or the vehicle chassis.
