[QUOTE="chronicmayne, post: 8475416, member: 668962"] I've been reading a lot of the threads from people who had the same issue but I think I need further help. I've installed stereos fine in the past and this is the first time I've had an issue. The wiring I'm using used to run a 1500w inverter in the same car. So here's the details: 10 inch subwoofer 250w rms amp. The ohms rated on the speaker are 4ohms. The amp bridged pushes out max power at 4ohms. So that's legit right? I've used a multimeter to check the voltages at the amp and it's 12 steady. In fact the battery is only reading like .05 volts more than where the amp is. When the amp is on its at 12, when it goes into protect it's still at 12. What's confusing me the most is the sub and amp will work for 30 minutes then it turns off and goes into protect. Then I get home and it goes into protect every time I turn up the volume. Then I go to bed wake up next morning it works again for 10 minutes goes into protect. Then after a while of being off I come back and it works again for 20 minutes and goes into protect. Now I'm at home and it goes into protect instantly when I turn it up. The hell is going on lol. The amp isnt hot, the wires seem fine (since no voltage drop), no fuses are blown, RCA gain is at half, no bass boost, and why does it sometimes work and sometimes doesnt? Is this amp bad? [/QUOTE]
