[QUOTE="Chris333, post: 6059500, member: 611779"] OK this has to do with my amps shutting down and going into protection. The thing that might make this different than the others is that both of my amps shut down at exactly the same time. I have a 2000 Beetle with 2 Audiobahn amps. A A8002T for the front and a A8000T for the subs. The "front" is a 6"/tweeter component set and a 5.25/tweeter component set, each with their own crossovers. The sub is just one 12". I have a circuit breaker at the battery. 4 gauge wire to the back with a 1mill cap. 8gauge wire to the amps. The amps are close, but don't touch each other: [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n255/Chris333_33/IMG_9491.jpg[/IMG] If I turn it up (no distortion) I could easily get the amps to shut off within 1-2 songs. A min later they are both back up and running simultaneously! When first installed I could blast all day in the summer and they might shut down once. Now it happens way more often. And the amps fins do not feel hot to the touch. Before I can figure out what is wrong I need to isolate why both amps seem to work in unison. Any ideas? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
