[QUOTE="FenixAudio, post: 6815589, member: 622195"] i would not suspect 18awg wire to sut down an amp...just limit the sound quality. if the amp is shutting down you need to meter the power conections on the amp to make sure your not loosing voltage. i wouls also suspect that you have a voice coil thats grounding or a connection on the output side of the amp going to ground somewhere. if you can not find a nik in the wire or which speaker might have a voice coil issue then take all the speakers off the amp and re connect each one to see which puts the amp into protect(only after verifing thats not the 12v or remote turn on lead thats the issue.) If you meter the input side and you are turning off becasue you are getting a voltage drop then trace the power lead from the battery or put your meter on a solid ground and test again. if it is below 12 v reground PROPERLY. go to metal not a bolt. any questions email me [URL="mailto:"]john.mease@fenixaudio.com[/URL] check out my site if you have time.
