cause its Fusion there not that great there a low grade amp, FLI And Mutant are better in the lower class but FLI is top in lower cause its done by VIBE

there made on the cheap there's properly a problem with in your amp causing it to cut out or its over heating

Many Thanks, Will Have A Proper Look Over It Might See If There Any Dust In It, I Only Got It For 20 Quid So, Also Its A Quick Release One So It Can Be Take Out Of The Boot With Ease When Not In Use, Thanks For Info

How have you wired it? Taking the input from the RCA outputs on the back of the head unit?

The Mono amps and subs are pretty good to be fair.

Ive seen 140db cracked with a single 12 Fusion and Amplifier.

750watt rms into a 500rms max rated sub daily.

Now back to the topic, id say security of your connections. Trace them back and have a ganders.

yeh, Its All New Wiring, Iv Earthed It From The Battery Earth As Well, Unless Theres A Better Earth, Will Have Another Go With it

[Carlzilla]

i dont think youll find a better earth than the battery itself, yet iv earthed my equipment onto the rear bulkhead and it works fine. as stevee suggested, its cheap stuff, but for 20 quid youve picked up a bargain, it may be worth checking the wiring inside the unit itself if youre confident all your wiring is up to scratch, you may find theres a shorting/loose connection inside it

I find fusion speaker's good, but the amps unreliable.

Mate of mine went through three of the 300w mono amps from the box set before he found one that worked. Hellfrauds replaced them under warrenty but I was still less than impressed. Like you it'd run for a bit then the protect kicked in. Nothing I tried worked, including wiring it into a mates spl car with stupidly large wiring lol.

check the connections and if it doesn't work then get it replaced.

i would check you live feed aswell as mine was shorting just before the amp and was causing it to protect.

ive always just took everything out and tryed again. fusion amps are naff. mines forever dying a death
