Hello everyone - Just want to start by thanking anyone taking the time to read this.
I recently put an old Kenwood 12" 700w subwoofer I had from a few years ago into an enclosure and purchased a Dual DA6002D 600w amplifier. For a receiver I have a Boss BV760 Elite touchscreen head unit. I initially wired the amplifier to and Add-A-Fuse which was wired into the cabin fuse box. The subwoofer functioned for a total 5 minutes and cut out. None of the wires had come undone. Initially I assumed that maybe it was the add-a-fuse so I experimented wiring the amp directly to the battery, still nothing. I tested my girlfriends amp which would briefly turn on and then immediately turn off. I doubt its the ground wire because that had a good clean connection. A few things - the gauge of the power wire is very thin, and when I wired it to the battery the contact was not perfect to the terminal, But i would assume the amp would still turn on.. I feel like I've tried everything and nothings worked - Also I drive a 2008 honda fit. Any ideas? Thanks again!
