Amp cutting out

[arena314]

I have a Sony xplode amp and 2 12 Inch kenwoods hooked up with 6g power and ground wire. It was working perfectly for an hour. Later that day it started just cutting out. At any volume whenever the bass hits the amp cuts out enshrined if it's playing low it cuts out. A suggestions? Thanks

check to see if you have loose wires and add another ground to you amp , if that dosent work try using a battery, you can use just a regular car battery for your system just be prepared to never hear the end of it lol, if you have a space battery laying around take it to your local autozone and ask them to charge it for you ((its free)) then just hook it up to your car amp..

what ohm rating is your amp and what impedance are the Kenwood wired to? and is your ground wire grounded properly? make sure it's bolted down tight and not wiggling around. and a regular car battery to your sub won't,do you anything. your alternator should have no problem keeping up with a Sony xplod amp.

Amp and subs can handle 2 ohms so it's wired to 2 ohms. I'm going to try re grounding it tomorrow really tightly if thats not the problem then do you think it's my remote?

your remote wire could be loose, or you may have your gain set too high and it's pulling too much voltage. Wal-Mart carries cheap voltage meters that plug into your 12v car Jack. try keeping your voltage on the lower half of tilt

and if your voltage reads lower than 13v while your motor is running then you need to lower the gain accordingly. the voltage should be steady in the upper 13s.

Today I'm going to try re grounding it and checking all my wires

 

[loudenuff]

ok good. goto Wal-Mart and get that voltage meter. it's a good investment.

 

[arena314]

Ok I will. I thin my remote is bad

Could it have something to do with the piece of **** stock amp in my car? I have a 2001 volkswagen gti

The amp turns on but no sound comes out at all

I really don't get it because yesterday it worked for an hour or so then just stopped
