[QUOTE="germanyt, post: 8493575, member: 564481"] It sounds like you're trying to get more output from your setup than it's really capable and exceeding hte capability of the amp. Amp gain should be set with bass boost and all bass controls at zero or less and with volume at a reasonable level. When you up your boost and crank the bass/volume you're asking your amplifier to do more with the voltage you're battery is giving it. Eventually it gives up and goes into protect. Because it's a decent amp it has the capability to shut off before cooking itself. Ok so I typed all that then decided to verify your impedance. The sub is 1 ohm and the amp is 2 ohm stable. Which is okay on a small amp if youre electrical is okay but having your bass turned up is overworking the amp. It's going into protect. If you had fused properly you likely would have blow the fuse. I'd sell the amp and get a cheap 1000 watt 1 ohm stable with a 4 gauge power and ground. And always, always, always on any system do a Big 3 wiring upgrade. [/QUOTE]
