When you run more than two sets of speakers, you need to change the protection switches for the different speakers.

I have a 175 watt Yamaha receiver and I bought and returned the ave version because it wouldn't even turn on my receiver from the battery ports but did work through the surge port. I Plan on buying the PFC version but haven't as of yet

I run a hifonics 500rms x 2 @ 2 ohms for 4 speakers and ran that for at least 5 yrs and have yet to have any issues with them. Ive overheated the amp a few times(more than likely due to poor design) but the speakers have handled it just fine and I run them hard often.Just bought a new truck and plan on installing a set in it as they have never given me issues.

You havent given me much to go on, such as what kind of speakers you are connecting, what connections and cables you are using, etc. I have this same amp and it has worked flawlessly for me for well over a year. Plenty of volume, and lots of headroom. I typically run the amp at about 60% gain and then simply control the volume via the input signal. Double check all of your connections and your input source. I highly doubt the issue is with the amp.

I had this issue at first. But it had to do with the wiring. The little wire that is neither your power or speaker wires. Is what they call an RMA I belive. He is the one that tells the amp on and off with the car. If it's wired incorrectly from the car it won't turn the amp off. And drain the battery. So either check that, or have a shop instal it again for you. That's what I did and had no issues there after. It's definitely not the amp though. Amos are stupid.. You give them power.. They work. You take it away they stop. So it's probably in your wiring.

sounds to me like its defective. I have owned many different receivers throughout the years, and never had that issue. Make sure you don't have any crossed/ touching bare speaker wires also. That can make it reset as a safety feature

When I got mine it worked great for about 15 minutes. Then out of the blue the right channel quit working. So I tapped on it cranked it wide open and nothing. So I turned it off and waited for a bit, turned it back on and the same thing. So I sent it back. And got stuck with the shipping. I've also got 2 of the PTA1000 and 1 of the PTA1200. They all work great. And they are all basically the same amp. Only the output transfomer is different. Including the 1400. All 3. So I have no idea other than u got bad one too. Sorry

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)?But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

Hi,Am in the same boat. Other differences I see are receiver is 6ohm for 6200 vs. 8ohm for 5300 with speakers being 6 ohms...somewhere read that 6 ohm driving 8ohm is not that good..(I am not a techy)Any of you decided yet?Also does anyone like the sexy Energy 5.1 speaker set (will have to buy receiver separately)...any comparisons?

Does the amp work and power your subs? Trace your wires and make sure everything is in the right place. Do not turn the knob to full on yet cause it can't break easy, put it halfway or under half. And turn your car over and see if it works? If not send me another question and ill look at mine specifically

I had the same problem. There was some speculation that it was due to overheating. Because of this and another problem I had with this receiver, I returned it and got a Pioneer unit that I am much happier with.

no. i only had it for a day before i sent it back. i must of received a lemon cause i could not bring the volume up past 24 without having the amp's safety turning off my unit. not interested in getting another one though.

Perhaps the speakers that you used were too large of a draw for this unit. It is a 45W unit so if your speakers had a larger draw than that you may have damaged the amp finals. At any rate, I would request a return of exchange as it could possibly just be a defective unit. Ours works great driving four high efficiency speakers.

That happened to me. I unplugged the sub plug and coaxial cable for half an hour. Plugged the sub into the outlet and then the coaxial plug into the reciever. I turned the reciever on and it was good. Make sure you check your settings that te subwoofer was on. (Onkyo states that sometimes the static from the cable and reciever can make it shut off) hope this helps.

It was 1. The pic just shows what the front and bottom of each one looks like. Killer subs. I killed one of the two i had. I puked it with the wattage up too high. Shook my windshield enough to move the necklace around that hung from my rear view mirror but the amp is was oversized anyway.

I'm also having problems with the sub. It worked initially but now it doesn't. Nothing comes out. I've tried a different cable and different sub so I know its the receiver. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours?
