Most likely low voltages, beef up your electrical system with the big 3, 0 gauge OFC wiring, put an extra AGM battery in the trunk, turn down your gains until you do so or you gonna blow some sh*t. If thats not enough grab some spare computer fans and make an amp rack with a push/pull fan configuration.

the first option of beefing up your charging system to maintain a higher voltage will do a better job at keeping your amps cool then fans, dont dive into the 2nd option before doing the first one.

i listed the steps on the upgrades you need to do in order to run 2k rms effectively in your other post.




how to set gains with multi-meter
With the 2nd battery your just having a 0 gauge run of positive to positive, negative to negative or ground the 2nd battery a bolt thats on the frame of the car.

Make sure its an AGM battery not a lead acid battery. Some good batteries brands are dekas, kinetik, odyssey, xs power, duralast, diehard platinum.
