Hey guys and girls, I'm nick. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but it seemed fitting. So I'm having an issue and before I drop money on anything I'm looking for opinions. I'm currently running a single American Bass XFL 12", it's 1500w rms, 3000w peak. I was running it on an audio pipe amp for a while but I just snatched a Kicker KXA 2400.1 which tested at 25xx watts at 2 ohms. My question, as I'm tuning the amp if I raise bring the gain or boost up even slightly close to where I want it (speaker isn't arguing ) the amp pops into protection for about 5 seconds and comes back on if I turn the level down. Now. I'm aware I should be running 1/0 awg wiring but I'm currently on 4awg with if I remember correctly a 150amp in line fuse. Could my wires being too small cause it to go into protection? It's obviously not blowing the fuse. It just cuts out til I turn the levels down but at this point it's not even making the power the audio pipe was. Wondering if it's maybe something to do with the amp or if I just need 1/0 awg wiring
The amp is brand new, just installed it today.
