hi peeps. got a puzler for you. got my sub and bits and bobs all wired in but when i crank it up load the sub amp will keep switching off on the large base bits even with the engine running, i doubt its cableing because its all 8gage wire and all fuesed nicly. any tips?

amp overheating? my m8s does this on long deep bass drops and we cant work out wether it is overheating or the amp isnt powerful enough. amp is 600w rms and so is the sub

[Alex1380]

i dout its over heating becasue the amp would go in to protection mod and its not its is just switching off
i am worried it mite be the amps isn't powerfull enough but it won't be easy to work out if that is the problem

its jsut an idea but maybe there is a loose conection in the amp, so when you get a big bassy bit the conection is lost

you can get this same problem in factory OEM fitted head units at high volume on larger speakers

as there isnt enough power running to the amplifier to power the speakers it can make the amp trip and cut out for only say a second or two, i see it alot, especially in vauxhalls

or halfords audio boards

lol yeh thats true

i found the amp is going in to protechtion. so im not sure if it is pre-amp voltage or if its the amp isn't powerful enough.
