Amplifier Cutting Out at High Volumes (still)

[Bobbytwonames 5,000+ posts]

My Taramps DS800X4 cuts out as soon as I pass 25 on the volume dial while I'm driving. The HU is a Kenwood DDX771 (4v pre-outs). I'm running the amp through a Taramps CRX4 4-way electronic crossover. The crossover specs say 8v max input and 8v max output. Is this simply a problem where I'm throwing too many volts to the amp at high volume? If so, should I turn the level down at the crossover and turn the gain up at the amp? The amp is running two AB 6-½" midbass and two Pioneer Pro 3-½" bullet tweeters. Any help would be appreciated.

@Jeffdachef, any thoughts? Should I just dump this DS800X4 and get a different 4 channel?

you should dump the crossover if anything lmao. Shoulda kept at it with the dayton dsp instead giving up.

So, I think that I just have a short somewhere by my driver's side door. The highs don't cut out if my door is open, but cuts out as soon as I shut the door if the volume is above 25.
