amp going into protection... again

[Justintoxicated 10+ year member]

Your amp might be in a hot truck but if temp as an issue why would ti go right into protection, I mean it does not have a chance to even heat itself up.

when it goes into protection have you tried turnin the car on, and off a few times slowly?

I have an amp that does this for unknown reasons one day it juat decide to go into protection mode and enver would work again.

Sounds like a bad amp to me

ok so yesterday afternoon i got my new 10" infinity perfect. so i throw it along with another 10.1 ip in the box i just made. wired the subs for a 2 ohm load. it sounded better than i could have hoped.
the amp is a viper 1200.1 btw

ok so this morning i go down to take pics and while i was down there i listened to a couple songs. everything was fine.

i go to work at 10 am and everything is fine.

i take my first break at 12 and once again its working perfectly.

then i go to lunch at 2pm and as soon as i turn the car on the amp goes into protection mode //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

after leaving my house to go back to work after lunch the amp starts working again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

on my second break at 5:30 pm the amp goes straight into protection mode.

however when i leave at 6:30 to go home the amp is working again.

heres a pic of my trunk



now the amp is mounted on top of the box with security screws.

also the power and ground are both 4 ga.

is this a bad spot to mount the amp??

im gonna buy a couple of computer fans tomorrow and see if that will help.

the amp was a refurb off ebay. it has a 90 day warranty.

are vipers just sensitive to heat?? cause my mtx never once went into protection mode.

also the gains were set with a dmm to 700w rms at 2 ohm. 34.7 i believe it was.

sorry about the long post

any input would be great.

34.7 is not 700 watts thats about 1200 watts.
