Clarion V-net series 450

[lkernos]

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to car audio & have bought a v-net series 450 to run 4
speakers off.
I have hooked up the wiring & it seems to be ok but the amp keeps turing
on & then turing off again, power light flickers slowly.

I've checked the ground cable as I have heard that it's usually the most
common issues. Multimeter reports all good 0v, power cable reporting
enough power. The amp even does it when there are no speakers attached
to it so I am wondering if the amp has a problem.(was also wondering if
the amp wasn't seeing enough load on it as I am only starting out with 2
speakers attached)
Anyways I don't have a copy of the manual for the amp & was wondering if
anyone had a copy?
Haven't found one anywhere can only find the specs.

Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Will

What are you using for the amplifer turn-on lead? Also, is the
voltage on the power wire fluctuating while the amp is turning on &
off?

The power wire is fluctuating but only very slightly & it is around 13.4, .5 Volts. Remote turn on lead is brand new multistrand speaker wire providing a constat voltage.
May have to give it to clarion to see if they can fix it, but still would like the manual to check a few things out.
