hey guys i just cant figure this out.... I currently running 2x 12in kicker dual 4 ohm voice coil L5's off my hyphonics bxi1200d amp. For a while it ran great but then after the bass hits like 4 -5 times now my amp shuts off and goes to protect mode... i have checked the ground and i even put in new ground wire to a new ground area. I dont know why my amp keeps goin to protect mode. Can ne body help me this is starting to get really frustrating. also i have a hc 600 power cell in my system i dont know if that makes a difference but this is how i had it set up first battery- power cable- power cell(+)- power cable- amp power ~AND~ ground- power cable-power cell (-)-power cable-amp ground now i left the power conection the same but i change the ground a little now its ground- power cable- amp and ground - power cable-power cell(-) i just gave the power cell and amp their own grounds but it still switchs to protect mode help plz!!!

do you have a fuse inline w/ your power wire to your amp????

If not, and if you have a short, its possible that it would go into protect.

check the fuse between the batteries (if you have one). If the fuse is blown, your 2nd battery isn't charging. Check voltage with dmm at the 2nd battery.

umm you have your batteries wired wrong first of all.

you have to have a battery relay/isolator

take it to a car audio place and have them wire it right for you before you kill both of your batteries by wiring them up without an isolator.

You are also missing multiple fuses. just a lot of stuff you have wrong here.
