I do not have that problem at all. However, heat is a major factor for all amps. Are you mounting it where it gets more heat than air? What kind of bike and and where is it mounted. I have a harley heritage and mounted mine right under the headlight. stays cool and never cuts out. good luck.Also.. it might be that yours is defective. exchange it and try again. Amazon is pretty good about swapping things out.

I've never had that problem. Mine has worked fine since I got it. You might want to check and make sure its not getting to hot.

If it's mounted under the seat heat could be the issue. I mounted mine on the frame down low where the wind helps to keep it cool. Only the waterproof, not water resistant models will work in that location as it's exposed to the weather.

the amp gets hot, turn off wait then turn it on, this speaker is not for really loud music. it has a thermistor circuit, that prevent the amp blow out..

Sounds like a wiring problem with your amp. Speakers are very simple to get working

Test the battery first, if it is low in AMP then this should fix the problem. Sometime, a loose wire or bad connectors can cause the issue...

interference of some kind or the speaker wires aren't connected correctly, or may be loose. I hooked ours up the way the amp I replaced was hooked up and the Pyle didn't work. Turned out to be much simpler. The second configuration I tried hummed and the sound was staticy. I think I have all 6 of our PAs combined to 1 set of wires and on one speaker connection and it has worked perfectly all summer. Hope that helps.

1: Make sure that the right out put is selected weather it be CD AUX or whatever you are trying to get sound from2: Make sure you have to right type of speaker this power amp only uses one type of ohms If this doesn't help and even the radio doesn't work get a return auth from Amazon and have them send a new one I did have problems with the first unit I had and the second one has been working fine

Check all the cables sometimes is that. Also maybe could be dust. Try other speaker with the amp if you can.Hope that helps.

Serge, are you sure you are connecting the stereo side of your cable to a stereo system or instrument? If it is connected to a monaural device, the red lead may be short-circuited and your amp may be at risk!

It could be your input cable from your music source. Try a different cable first before declaring the unit defective.

Hello, thank you for your interest. I can't see how it would be a problem. As long as the pick up is functioning correctly, the amp should work well.

The battery died because a cable was plugged into the unit. It doesn't matter whether the connection made it to an amp. The circuit is "turned on" when you insert the 1/4 plug. Many players remove the cable between sets to conserve.

How are they not playing? If you're not getting any sound then it could be the pick-up or the amp.

Lee, I might offer that what you have is an electrical hum from an outside source like a computer or the current from your rig plugged into the wall. I experienced that before unplugging components and then listening. I still got to stick by this amp as it performs well for me not only busking a / stage work but studio work as well. Check for the proper wall adaptor or even call the people at Roland they actually answer the phone.well

It really depends. If the protector mode happens after you start playing audio, then you most likely have a short in one of your speaker wires. Unplug all of them, and turn it on. If it works fine after that it is one of your speakers. If not something in the receiver, likely the amp has gone out. I had this same problem. Call support and tell them your issue, if they are unable to resolve, you can have it send in for service to be repaired. Of course this would assume you are still under warranty. I had this same problem. You can also upgrade you support for around $50, and they will extend you warranty for 2 years, and cover all the shipping. Good luck! It really depends.

I agree with the previous response. If you know the outlet is good and its fully plugged in and you push the on button and nothing happens most likely the power supply in the unit is bad. Time to return it.....
