[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8665016, member: 676005"] Mate, I will take your advice on your 8 ohm Kicker subwoofer. The issue is at 8 ohm load, your JBL amp is not producing much power and as other members stated here, that is 1300 watts peak, does not mean much as its the load factor your have to consider so with and 8 ohm subwoofer you are not feeding it enough juice and in fact you may be driving the amplifier into distortion hence the shut down of some sort. Some suggestions on what you need to do is: [LIST][*]With the system playing and a mate sitting in the front seat, put the volume past 40 to see if it is the amplifier shutting down or is it the subwoofer stopping to play over 45. [*]Once you have determined the cause, try out another subwoofer or another amplifier to further determine if it is either. [*]My personal opinion is that you are driving the subwoofer too hard and since its seeing an 8 ohm load, it is not churning out much juice and since driven with inflated gain, bass boost and settings, it is stressing the amplifier and causing it to shut down due to heat. [*]Before you take the amp out, try another 4 ohm subwoofer from a friend to see if the problem persists as well. [/LIST] Hope this is helpful to you mate! [ATTACH]3551._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
