little help

[mrnobdy]

i have a 2001 acura 3.2 Cl Type-S

as my deck i have a new eclipse 8445

i have a zapco z150 75w x 2 running to a set of dls 3-way components

for subs i have a pair of zapco studio 500LE amps and a pair of Id Mam 10 subs.

im only running one studio500 and one sub the sub is a dual 2ohm wired to 4ohm, and the amp is 1000 watts mono at 4ohm. the problem i have is that after i have it cranked up the amp shuts off after 5 or 10 minutes of loud use. is that possibly a wiring issue or do you think there is somethign wrong with the amp. i ran 4awg wire all the way back to a dist block in the trunk. i dont have a cap thats why i only have one amp and one sub going. do you think a cap would make the amp run longer???

any help or ideas would be appriciated.

i never liked caps..they cause too many problems...i would just go with good batteries and good HO alt

Don't know about those amps, but is it possible that it is wired to 1 OHM and not 4? That is if the amp is not 1 ohm stable.
