OK Heres the problem. I recently installed my amp and speakers in my CSVT and came across a problem. The amp is a Xtant 404m and the speakers are JL W-3's 12 inch. I ran all the wires and as soon as I hooked up the power wire a small amount of smoke came out...which cant be good.... The amp was already grounded. And since then the red light has been on every time I start the car to see if it works. There are 3 lights, green, orange, red. No other lights come on. The fuse in tghe power wire is fine(30amp). So I decided to take the cover off the amp and found 2 small resistors that looked burned...Numbers R19 and R20 next to them on the board. Can these be fixed?? And am I right on guessing that those are whats causing no amp and red light??? Any help would be great guys!!!

It's called protection mode, and yes you fried your resistors. It can probably be fixed, and the best place for it is http://www.kbaudio.com Sergey is a nice guy, and their prices are reasonable. Plus they'll test it when they are done fixing it and send you a new birthsheet with it.

Thanks....I just went to Xtants website and found out this info...

Red LED=Power on


So I have power to the amp, no protection lights on so will those blown resistors still prevent no sound??

I have never known a company to use Red to show power, as usually red is bad.... and yes, those resistors can cause the amp to not produce sound....
