sound turns off :( ?

[tweedz 10+ year member]

after about an hour or so of driving give or take 15 minutes i guess when i have my system up loud it will randomly turn off.

i am useing an mrp-450 amp with speakers running on channels 1 and 2

and a memphis sub using channels 3 and 4 until i get a stand alone for the sub.

i dont have my gains maxed. both gains are set to like 3/4 and i am also running standard stock speaker wire to the sub from the amp so im not sure if this is an issue?

Could anyone help me resolve the issue

All I find on google with that amp is that it is mono...so please give specs on the amp

What is the coil config of your sub? Single 4 ohm? 2 ohm?

If it is 2 ohms and you have it bridged on your amp, you have to make sure your amp is 1 ohm stereo stable, or 2 ohm mono stable. Does your amp ever get hot?

Looking at your alt output of 60 amps you may be dipping too low on your voltage. Have you upgraded to the big 3? What gauge wiring are you using to your amps?

i have not done the big 3 and i am also not using an optima yellow or red. i think the amp is wired with 8 gauge.

i will check wether the amp is 2 or 4 ohms today.
