[QUOTE="Robert24z2, post: 8666008, member: 676329"] Ok I will start with what I have. I have 2 Orion HCCA 124's bridged to 2 ohm. Kicker cx1200.1 mono amp. All 4 gauge power and ground. Stinger 2-farad cap and 150 amp breaker. Gain on amp is a little under half way up. I have my LOC tapped to my factory subwoofer line and since there is only one sub, I tapped the 2 positive inputs on the LOC to the one positive line going to the sub and same for negative. (not sure if anyone has done that) Here is what's going on...First, my breaker keeps tripping at loud volume and as I looked deeper into it I notice that the protection mode light on the amp flickers when the bass hits. The amp will continue to play while the light flickers until turned up loud the amp protection mode kicks in a shuts down for a few seconds then comes back on fine. so far I have tried bypassing the capacitor and the breaker with no luck. I have verified solid, correct wiring on the subs. Any advice would be great!! [/QUOTE]
