[QUOTE="x2o, post: 4955221, member: 582175"] Hey, welcome to the forums. Well, after searching around I found that the MTX Thunder 3000's only come in single 4 and 8 ohm voice coils, so either way you are sending a safe load to the amp. (if single 4 you can wire down to 2 ohm, the JL slash series is good down to 1.5ohm) Now, do you have a Digital MultiMeter (DMM) easily available? If so, I would check what the final ohm load is that your getting from your woofers. This very well could be your amp getting hot, but that would be odd as I've heard the JL amps run very cool... Next time this happens, touch your amp's heatsink. Does it feel ridiculously hot? Also, that JL amp is a good match for these two subs as they are rated at 200 RMS and the JL puts out 500. The sealed box is good for a basic setup, however a custom built ported box will get louder. Any more questions just post up again in this thread!
