[QUOTE="iAugust, post: 5940034, member: 610525"] Hello all, I have two issues with my new system that may or may not be related? I recently upgraded my system to two brand new RE SE12s in a ported enclosure being pushed by a brand new Crunch GPV2000 in my 98 Chrysler Concorde (which has had electrical problems ever since I got it). I have noticed my lights dimming at night time on most bass hits (not just the loud ones), and am planning on buying a Cap but I don't know what kind I should get. Secondly, and more importantly, after playing my music pretty loud for about 45 minutes, my subs will cut out. The amp will still be on (The word "Crunch" is still lit up on the front of the amp), but it won't power my subs, and it is VERY hot. If I turn it off for like 5-10 minutes and let it cool down, and then try it again, it works again. Any suggestions on why this is doing this or how I could prevent it? The ground I'm using in my trunk is pretty shitty because there is nothing very good to ground it to. Could that potentially be why the amp is overheating? [/QUOTE]
