[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8714470, member: 679555"] It seems like you may be overdriving the amp and it's going into thermal protect. Have you set it up using ohm's law on the output terminals? The speaker load is 4ohms per set, so doing 2 to each channel in parallel is fine. They're pretty well matched as well so I don't think that's your problem. Do you know how to set your gains on the amp properly? This seems to be the most likely problem. Kicker gear doesn't often exceed its rating, so if you're clipping on that amp there's a good chance it'll overheat. [/QUOTE]
