[QUOTE="CobraRanger, post: 5399330, member: 605583"] I thought that it could be a low voltage problem, but i dont know. I got my dmm out when it started acting up, and checked it at the amp terminals, and right as it went into protection, the voltage droped to 4-5 volts, and stayed there until right as it kicked back on, it jumped back up to 13.5-14 volts, but it didnt kick off on every bass note though...it did it every 5 secs or so, but I didn't count. Later on, I checked it at the battery, and it never really droped below like 12 volts. The power and ground wire is 4 ga. Whenever it would stay in protection mode, I used a light tester (the thing you ground to metal and touch the tester to wires to see if it has power by lighting up the light) and touched it to the REM terminal on the amp, and it would actually bring it out of protection mode.
