[QUOTE="Lilriver420, post: 8763755, member: 683991"] Alright so I had a rp 2000 on my evl 18 d4 wired at 2 ohms for about a year. Did fine until one day on the way home it started making the sub pop. Even without music itd do it as soon as the amp turned on. So I figured it just bit the dust and bought another since they're on sale. Hooked it up and it'll play for about 20 min then go into protect. First time it did it I unhooked it for 24 hrs to get it out of protect. While doing so I noticed my ground to the frame had formed some rust. So I fixed that and also shortened it about a foot or so. Hooked it back up and did the same thing after 20 min of playing. Amp doesn't get hot. I'm trying to rule out a few possible issues before hooking it back up. I noticed that it says working voltage is up to 14.4. My truck will charge at 14.8 when cold and eventually drop to 14.4. By the time the amp goes Into protect its at 14.4. Could the high voltage at first be causing a problem? [/QUOTE]
