No sound out of subs after awhile

[Baby-d3005]

I have 2 Kicker L7 and 1200 watt sony explode amp...after awhile when turned pretty high...no sound will come out of the subs but amp light stays on like it has power... i was wondering if it was a drop in voltage, but i have an optma red top battery also... and if a capacitor would do the trick to supply the power needed..

And the next time you play it the subs will make noise??

After about 2 to 3 minutes on a pretty high volume the no sound will come out of the subs but the power light on the amp stays on...after a few seconds, sound comes out of the subs again for about 3 seconds and kicks back off and so on and so on... but if i leave it around half way it will stay on all the time...

I ended up buying a 1.0 farad capicator but that didnt work either...so pretty much i have 80 dollar pretty lights from the capicator glowing in the back and thats all...

probably your gain. try setting it with a dmm. if thats not it make sure the amp has plenty of room to breath.

also what ga is your ground and power???

Have you done the big three yet?

Search for it if you dont know what it is, it sounds like voltage drop is your problem.

i have 4 gauge power and ground wire.....what is a dmm...right now i think that the amp is gettin hot and cutting off becuase the cooler it is the the longer it will go... i have it mounted on the back of my sub box with the seats down...what can i do if the amp is gettin to hot....if i cant fix it soon then i think im going to sell the amp and go ahead and get another amp....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif
