[QUOTE="LoneRanger, post: 284319, member: 540903"] Sounds to me like the amp is going into protection. That's usually caused by the speakers presenting an ohm load that's below the amp's capabilities. Another cause is simply overheating. Make sure your amp is getting enough air to keep itself cool. If the subs were blown, it wouldn't keep coming on and turning off, and it wouldn't sound very good when they did play. Try pushing on the center of the cone of your subs. If they make a scratchy sound when you push on them, they're blown. Don't buy pyramid. It's garbage. Even the low-end vega's are way better than the best pyramid sub made. Take your car to a different shop and tell them there's a problem with your amp shutting down. Hopefully they'll be more knowledgable than the yay-hoo's you're taking it to now. [/QUOTE]
