[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7388117, member: 576029"] the subs are 2 ohm DVC. how you have them wired (final impedance) determines if the amp can run that load for extended periods of time. most likely; the amp is mono stable to 2 ohms and if so you should have the subs wired for a 2 ohm mono load. a model number for the amp will help us determine what the amp can power. a wiring diagram of how you have the subs wired will tell us what your problem may be. we need both model numbers and wiring diagrams. wiring should include from amp to box and from box to sub(s) the most common reasons amps shut off are: 1. too low of an impedance 2. improper gain setting causes clipping and overheating 3. improper wiring methods causes intermittent short circuits [/QUOTE]
