ok heres whats going on, i had the neg and pos ****ed up on all of that crossover, then everything was going fine, didnt run hot, now every once in a while it shuts off still, not hot at all, then i turn off then back on and it works fine, thats the new problem, all wires are good, all conections are good, i wiggled them allot while i was listening to it, and it seems to happen more while its louder
