"protect" mode - what is it?
i'm trying to wire my Orion CS200.4 amplifier to a Kenwood KDC-9015 head unit, but for some reason the amp is displaying "protect" mode (red) rather than "power" (green led). i know it's getting power but it won't turn on because of this. what does this mean and how can i fix it?

well it could be a few different things. Check your ground connection, that could easly put the amp into protect mode. Also check the impedance of your speakers with a DMM. If the impedance is to low then the amp will go into protect also. And if you pass all of those tests then most likely the amp has now become a new boat anchor.

well it's not the speakers, i've run this exact setup before without any problems, so i'm betting it's the ground. i'll check that tomorrow if i get time. thanks for the help guys, i'll let you know how it goes.
