i have a kenwood amp that i have used for 4-5 years and lately it would randomly shut off by itself while in use. when it happens the power light would start flashing until i press power again then it would go back to standby mode. if i press power one more time then it goes back on. depending on my luck, it would either stay on or turn back off after 3 seconds.
has anyone experienced the same thing? please help cuz i'm a newbie! thanks.

Either bad joints in the output stages, or a bad speaker / wiring. Any disturbance in the outputs, or significant drop in load impedance, will result in this protect mode engaging

try cleaning the dust out of it., sounds like it's getting hot!

Make sure your speakers are 8 ohms, if they go any lower, like from paralleling speakers, that will drop the ohms to 4. Which can trip the amp.
