[QUOTE="misfitjen, post: 4950877, member: 600309"] Hey guys! I am a noob when it comes to car audio...so please bear with me. I have two 12" MTX Thunder 3000's in a sealed box. I have a JL Audio 500/1 amp. I believe the drivers are wired in a series together, but I will have to take them back out of the box to be sure. Now, whenever I turn the volume up loud, the amp cuts out. I believe it is getting too hot and its shutting off as a safety precaution. The music bass from the drivers comes back on after a minute or two after shutting off. I have no idea what I should do. How should I wire these together, and is this amp alright, or should I buy a bigger amp? Also, is a sealed box the best for this setup? Thank you so much for your help! [/QUOTE]
