[QUOTE="Goldenknob, post: 1702455, member: 561030"] recently, for what seems no reason, my sub amp has been turning it's self of due to some sort of fault. it will cause the subs to thump a few times then a click when the amp shuts off and back on by itself. and then repeat.. it's random too it may do it constantly if I leave it on or it may do only once then stop for a few minutes. I started trouble shooting by thinking that it could have been my RCA's so I unpluged them to the amp and turned it on.. and everything seemed fine nothing happened. so I plugged only one rca in and the problem arose. so I unplugged that rca and then plugged in the other one. and still problem was there... so I got my mp3 player and plugged it directly into the amp through the rca's and it played fine. then I checked the other end of the original rca's one at a time and the problem was there with both. so I thought that the rca's had went bad for some reason. I grabbed another set and hooked them up, leaving the wire on top of everything for easy access. and played about 4 songs with no problem played great... so I reinstalled my seat, with the temp wire still exposed (amp is under seat, in a truck) turned on the radio and amp again.. and there was my problem again... with the new set of rca's. so it wasn't them.. but I can't imagine what it could be. I have double checked my ground and positives in the cab everything is tight. nothing seems cut or pinched. and all my audio equipment runs off the same power wire from battery to in the cab then goes to a power block and gets divided up. this setup has been stable for close to a year with no problems. only my sub amp is having the problem. it is a Viper 2500.1 wired in a 4ohm setting to 2 12's head unit had 4 pre-outs that run into a electronic crossover. to divide signal to high, med, & low's.
