Red "Overload" light goes on when amp turns off
Red "Overload" light goes on when amp turns off
What does this light mean? I've double checked my ground, double checked the resistance on my woofer, each coil reads 4 ohms like it's supposed to and I have a 2 ohm load overall. The amp functions seamlessly other than the light; no problems regarding shut-offs or overheating.
Audison LRX 1.1k - had it sent into the shop once already for this because I thought it was a problem with the amp, it came back with factory specs.
JVC CS-GW1200 - 4 ohm dvc, wired to 2 ohms.
2 Ga power and ground, 100A inline fuse.
Sony CDX-GT310 Deck.
Voltage is constant at 14.4, I just replaced my alternator, battery and grounds to the frame, so it shouldn't be a problem with the charging system.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Do you know what could be causing this light to trip? And if so, what do I need to change?

The light comes on only when the amp is off, it stays lit until I turn the amp back on by turning my head unit on. It's solid red. The amp functions completely normally. I don't think the light is supposed to be on at all. :P
If the light is on at all means it's getting constant power correct? You can't have a light on with now power. Very stupid thought but maybe it's just some weird wiring in the amp? Causing power to go to the remote. Or wait is your remote wire beside your power wire?
Of your remote wire isn't well insulated it will get the volts from the power wire making it turn on. To make me happy just try to undo your remote wire. Leave it off a few minutes and of your overload light goes on it could be that. Because nO lights should be on with no in switch going. If that's not it I got another theory about your head unit by try taking off ur remote wire and see if the light stays on
So I disconnected the remote wire, let it sit for about 15 minutes and the light didn't go out. Disconnected my subwoofer afterwards just to eliminate that part.... the light is still on with only power and ground connected, no input whatsoever.
