[QUOTE="RDSHunter, post: 6937877, member: 624833"] Hello, I recently installed 4 speakers, a head unit and amp to my '06 Cobalt LT, however I'm having troubles with my amp. From what I've read my amp keeps going into protection mode. At high volumes the amp will cut out (lights turn off) but only at certain points in songs. When this happens the speakers become very quiet and staticy and then return to normal until they draw too much power again. Wondering what the best solution to this problem would be so I could push normal power to my speakers. A friend suggested that my electrical system may need an upgrade as well, how would I go about doing this? Head Unit: [B]Kenwood Excelon KDC-X494[/B] Front Speakers: [B]Rainbow SLX 265 2-Way 6.5" Components (2)[/B] Rear Speakers: [B]Rainbow KX 6x9" 2-Way Coaxial (2)[/B] Amp: [B]MTX TC4004 4 Channel 400 Watt Thunder TC[/B] Thanks [/QUOTE]
