[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 8415644, member: 631331"] In my opinion you should check quite a few things. If the sound cut's out like you say this can be due to a few different things. 1. Many amplifiers have protection circuits that activate to attempt to protect the amplifier, usually when they go into protect mode, the sound will be cut off (sometimes just until the circuit is better so it may be just for a few seconds or so_ Most amplifiers that have protection have a light indicator that will light up if it is in protect. 2. Head units also sometimes have forms of protection, and when there is too much power drawn they cut down on output levels for protection. This can result in there still being sound, but it is much softer. 3. In any situation you need to take a good look at all of your electrical connections, it sounds like your system is not getting enough power. This is most often due to a grounding issue. check all your ground leads, and make sure they are legit, (shiny metal on metal action, not lose, no paint in the way). With your current system I doubt you are giving the alternator or battery too much trouble. Make sure all your electrical connections are clean, test and report back to us if that helped or not. Gains could also be an issue, if you don't know how to properly set them, they can cause this issue too. There is lots of information on gains if you use the search button on this forum. I'd be happy to explain too if you need further assistance. [/QUOTE]
