I had this problem with my RSD1200.1 sometimes is shutting down about half a second or so then it startet to play again. I set my gains today with a DMM with min\max memory and there i found my problem. I use a SLD44 linedriver and the gains on both my RSD 1200.1 and the RSD500.4 is set to 8 Volt.
With the DMM i found peaks up to 15 Volts from the SLD44 so after i downloaded the 60Hz tone and calibrated the SLD to send out 8 Volt with the volume set to 25\35 on my Alpine deck the shutdown problem on my 1200.1 is gone.
So it was a gain\signal level problem.
Is the high input itself the reason for the ""protection mode" or will a to high input result in a to high ouput and that will be the reason for the "protection mode"?
The FAQ section here on this forum is really helpfull and so are you guys.
Edit: I also used the DMM on the batteri terminals ofthe 1200.1 and it was down to 10.3 Volts as a minimun (My engine off and the batteri voltage was 12.1 Volts)
I`m waiting for a bigger alternator i bought on Ebay and 2 new Maxxima Batteries so i guess it will solve the current problem ok but does anyone know how much power i loose from my amps when my system drop almost down to 10 Volts? I remember one guy benchmarked the RSD 1200.1 to 1390 Watts and i guess that was at approx 14 Volts?
