Audio technix 400.1 random protect mode issue

[Natedogg552011]

I've had an Audio Technix for a few months now and it has been a great amp but it randomly goes into protect mode, i have it mounted on the back of my rear seat and it will randomly quit working and be in protect mode, have to fool around with it a good bit to get it to come back on but I'm getting tired of it, could anybody help me out on what to try to correct this? Thanks in advance

it sound like your over working that amp. or its not being cool .

whats your system??

what electrical ,, sub's,,wire,, what ohms are you running at amp ??

Stock electrical, charges at 14.0, drops to 13.6 at full tilt, pushing a kicker comp 15 at 2 ohms... It's only done this about 3 times over the half a year or so I've had it, anything from folding the back seat down can cause it or it will randomly do it like yesterday when I wasn't even playing the system because I was on a wheeling trip yesterday and it randomly went into protect and can't get it to come back, I've had this happen before and it takes some messing with and it will work perfectly... I'm dumbfounded here

it sounds like a connection is loose inside the amp, or something is loose on the outside of the amp.

check all connections at the amp.

wiggle the wires at the amp will playing to see if you can get it to cut of. then you will know.

I'll try that, I'm not sure about a loose connection inside the amp just bc it never has completely cut off on me, just gone to protect mode and the front Audio Technix stays lit too, always cuts one with the turn of the key but hits protect mode
