[QUOTE="Alaxan, post: 76529, member: 544457"] Sounds to me like you have an overheating issue. Often times when an amp is being pushed too hard and has little to no ventilation it will overheat and cut out. Sometimes for longer periods sometimes for shorter periods of time. It mostly depends on the amp and brand, but was it hot to the touch at all? It could also be that the gain is improperly set and the amp is clipping out due to that. The gain on the amp is (for the most part) suppose to be only adjusted one time and done. To set this properly turn up the headunit about to the max and turn down the gain all the way....Slowly increase it until you hear a bit of distortion and then turn it back down a couple of notches. Any further questions feel free to ask away and I will help the best I can. [/QUOTE]
