where are you measuring your voltage at? and that 1800 is a secondary or primary batt?

i have a voltage meter by my speedometer, it comes stock. and its a secondary bat.

NO NO NO you need to be measuring w a DMM the stock electrical gauge is NOT accurate.

Measure it with a DMM. I wouldn't trust the stock volatge gauge.

Are you sure the amp is going into protect or is it just cutting out?

Go get a DMM and measure again, report back, 90% chance you will find your problem there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

well the bass goes away completely and the red light on the amp turns on. then i have to turn the radio off and then on again

not sure if it was mentioned but pull the sub out and make sure one of the jumpers didnt come out of the sub terminal and grounding on the magnet... ive seen this happen before and boy smoked his amp

dmm is a digital voltage meter looks like this(doesnt have to be a fluke)

put it on DC Voltage and touch the power and ground on the amp and it will show voltage at the amp
