[QUOTE="mdkimsey, post: 5535872, member: 606795"] I have had this setup for five months, and all of a sudden, when I turn the volume up, it starts going into protection. I used to have the boost and the gains all the way up, but not lately since I found out that's bad. I have tried re-grounding it, changing the speaker outputs around, and checked the power and remote lines. The setup is a Sony Xplod HU with a Sony Xplod XM-2002GTW Amp, and two 12", 4-Ohm MTX's The specs are Amplifier: * 1200 W peak output * two channel bridgeable car amplifier * built-in cooling ventilation (keeps your amp cool at all times and makes sure it does not overheat) * 200 watts RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms * 250 watts RMS x 2 @ 2 ohms * 500 watts RMS x 1 bridged @ 4 ohms * high level sensing power on the circuitry * variable low-pass filter (50-300 Hz at 12 dB per octave) * bass boost (10 dB @ 40 Hz) * Class A/B 2 channel bridgeable car amp * Tri-way capable * MOS-FET output stage and power supply * C--E--A-2006 compliant * preamp- and speaker-level inputs * preamp outputs * 15-7/8"W x 2-1/4"H x 10 7/8" D * Signal to noise ratio (dB): 100 * Frequency Response (Hz): 5 - 50k * Input Level Range (V) Line level input: 0.3 - 6 * Input Level Range (V) Speaker level input: 1.2 - 12 * Operating Voltage (V): 10.5 - 16 * built and high level inputs to install your amplifier to a factory stereo * built-in bass boost control Subs: [URL="http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/archive/thunderSub3124.cfm"]http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/archive/thunderSub3124.cfm[/URL] (Doesn't lend to copy and paste very well) Any help i could get would be appreciated.
