I just got my new Audiopipe AP15001D, Great amp for my Cvrs. After putting it in my car, i drove around for about 2 hours and the amp got extremely hot and kept turning off and on.. Bass boost is off, Gain is only half way up.. BTW its 99 degrees here.

did you match the ohms correctly?

many things could be culprit...

-Bad ground or to small

-bad ohm load

-not enough electrical

-mounted in insufficient air space..

etc etc etc

umm i know i have both subs plugged into one of the negative postive ports on the box, so i only have one set of speaker wire going to the 1ohm labeled port of the subs.

I was told this is how you go 1 ohm by a friend

but on a serious note. my friend has the same amp and that beetch gets hotter than the sun.

...but it doesnt go into protect. probably your electrical. (He has a kinetik 2400 to power it)
