Subwoofer's Cutting Out After About 30mins?

[Captain Innes]

Hello, sorry if this is a common problem, I did my best to search for a solution and couldn't find much... but I was also looking for some tuning help on top of it all. So here we go.

My setup has been running fine, until I was driving a little further and longer one day and after about a half hour my subs cut out for maybe 30 seconds then came back... Aaaannnnnnddddd after a minute or so cut out again... Then came back, and so on and so on...

Not sure what the issue might be, maybe I have things tuned incorrectly which brings me to my second question about how to properly tune for best sound and potentially avoid this cutting out???

Here's what I'm working with though:

Pioneer AVH-1500DVD

2 12" Kicker Comp - 4 Ohm - 300w Peak/150 RMS - 27-500 Freq Response

Sony XPlod Xm-zr18552 1000w - 2/1 Channel

your amp is probably wired too low, read the manual and make sure it can handle a 1 ohm load, or read how to hook up your subs properly to it. depends if they're single voice coil, dual voice coil, etc.

that amp entirely sucks but it may be ok for those subs although id still recommend a better amp.

fyi the gain knob is not a volume knob dont turn it all the way up. turn it up until it stops getting louder then back off.

also dont post multiple threads saying the same thing please, people will start ignoring you.
