Help with Amp problem!!

[JLKY]

I have installed many systems, so Im not a noob at it.

I have got a JL 500/1 mono amp pushing two JL W3's. I recently tried to install these in my truck using the same wiring from a Alpine 350w amp pushing two Alpine E's. I hooked up everything correctly with the new amp and subs. I turned the truck on and it worked. About 5 minutes later, it just quits. The amp power light still comes on, but nothing comes out of the subs.

- Could I have blown the speaker outputs?

- Do I need to upgrade my wiring?

- I have a Rockford Fosgate Capacitor, should there be any problem with inserting it into the new system?

Need help ASAP ....

Any Suggestions?

Thx

what gauge wire are you running? also if you have another vehicle or a friends vehicle, test out your amp in that and see how it works. there shouldnt be any problem inserting the cap in your system. but i wouldnt install it. your better off upgrading yourbig 3.
