Hi, i recently bought a vibe cbra120 and a autoleads 600w wiring kit. I wired it all up. And when the ignition is on the led on the sub/amp lights up. As soon as you turn up the volume, the led dims then goes off. None of my friends know whats wrong.
Please Help

Its more than likely your ground lead mate, this happened with a mates active sub tube, make sure youve got the ground connected to a clean point with no paint/rust.

Does the amp have another light onit, if not then it sounds like it's going into protection mode. You should only b turning ur headunit up 3/4 of the way, also make sure Loud is off on ur head unit. Also make sure ur the gain on the amp isn't all the way up.

Could be too much power trying to go throught the amp and its just dying, fix this with a power cap, fusion or Vibe have a few decent 1.0 farad caps, also could be just your amps overheating, they are in a well ventilated place yeah? hope it helps
