I think its the amp lol or the subs....SOMETHINGS cutting out.

Ok so i have 2 rockford 12 P2. I dont know the ohms or any of that **** im not that advanced. Anyway they were powered by a rockford punch 400.2 that amp got sloshed around in my trunk and died. just bought a kicker zx 750.1 amp yesterday hooked it up all i can say is wow i absolutely love it. makes my subs so much louder and richer bass.....so im driving with my buddy and it cuts out for like 5 seconds then comes back on.......what could be the problem? it did it twice so i havent had a good drive to see if it does it a lot. feel free to ask me questions

Could be a bad ground, could be the impedance you're wired at(This is the ohms and s hit you know nothing about cause you're not that advanced. I doubt this is the problem in this case unless the subs were previously running on separate channels which they shouldn't have been to begin with, but you might wanna do research before wasting your money on equipment that may not be compatible or improperly hooking stuff up and damaging equipment), voltage drops, terrible clipping due to an improperly set gain(Did you turn the gain all the way up). Lots of stuff.

the subs are bridged

If the subs are wired to 4 ohm each (4ohm DVC) and you bridge them = 1 ohm.... Your amp is 2 ohm stable. Sounds like you don't know jack about installing car audio so that's why you need to understand your ohm load, etc. If you don't want to learn, pay a pro. That's why they install for a living. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

You might also have the 2ohm DVC version

And since they were likely each at 2 ohms, that means your subs are DVC4 and therefore leaving you with no way to acquire a safe 2 ohm load. You'll either have to ditch one sub, or swap the amp.
