Question
Kicker zx1001.1 on 2 treo tsx15@4ohm   sounded great then a few months went by n my amp quit n started flashing green a few times then flashes red n keeps doin that. i unhooked speakers n just had the  +,-,rem. hooked up n still did the red,green.

Answer
First, disconnect all power (both the + and remote lines) from the amp for 10 minutes.  This will reset the internal electronics.

If this does not bring it back to life you will need service.  Most likely it has failed on one side of the power output stage.  It should not be terribly expensive to repair.

Hope this helps.
