i had the same amp, and it does do that. i don't know why, but it's just for a minute. you should have bought my amp for your R's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gifWTF. Ive been reading some customer reviews about the amp i bought and people are saying it cuts out after being turned up loud. WTF is that. Why would it do this and for how long?
