I just need a lil more help please and thank you. I have a silverado 1500 short cab. i got a 600 by 2 orion cobalt running 1 jbl 10, inch subwoofer in a ported tubed box, it was all purchased brand new and installed proffesionaly, i beleive they bridged it. I have a JVC KD-r300 they told me for the first 3 days i had to keep the setting low to break everything in, I turned everything up, I turned my gain almost all the way up my hi all the way down and my low in the middle. when I turn it up it sounds like two 12s for about 20 minutes or so then it cuts down to almost half way and my amp gets super hot it will burn your finger almost, but i want to know why it gets that hot or is that normal, it dont get hot enough to cut off or for the lite to come on. also why does my subwoofer cut down almost half way? i have after market door speakers and back speakers that are hooked up to my radio deck. and would any buddy know how to set my jvc deck setting up to what they should be at like the bass, treb and mids should be set at if you need any more info feel free to ask me thank you very much. and can sombuddy please help me i really need it i am a rookie, once again thank you very much.

The gain shouldn't be set high... the way it's set is determined by the system. It governs the output based on the input signal. If you have it set too high, when you have a high input signal, it tries to put out more power than it is able too, and it burns up. It fries the amplifier. The amp has a built in safety to cut back the volume when it gets too hot. If you ever have that, you have issues. It shouldn't ever do that unless it's set wrong.

Cut back the gain significantly. Sure, not as a loud, but it's either that, or you lose the equipment. It'll also almost certainly blow the sub if you fry the amp, too. Just an fyi.

Yeah if you want it that loud get more power or better stuff. Everyone thinks its like a faucet you can just open it up all the way and let it rip with gains and volumes. Once it stops getting louder turn it down 3 notches

Your gain is set incorrectly most likely. That, and continuously dropping system voltage, are the most probable culprit. Read the gain setting tutorial.
