Yeah man, its bridged for each sub, im running now 150 rms for each channel (2 channels), so i dont know whats the problem, my subs are single voice coil and they work at 4 ohms, everthing is ok, what can be the problem that the amp its shutting off? now he takes so hot that mother #~$%&& amp, help me dude, thanks.

Yeah dude.. i will check the ground today, i dont know if mayber the problem comes before, cuz i hooked up to my amp an audiobahn sub working at 2 ohms, and the amp bridged can work at 4 ohms, but now with my 2 subs at 4 ohms the amp shut off every like 30 min at high volumes. But the amp start on again when the amp shut off like in 6 secs. i will check the ground, thanks dude.

yeah the gain of the amp. there should be some where on the side of the amp that lets u adjust the crossover the gain is on the same side. It should be something that look like knobs.

ok man thx, but are u triying to say that i have to open the amp and check the gain? im sorry but im from Colombia, and my english sucks. i have checked the manual and i cant find the gain that u mean, i found the battery terminal, ground terminal, power control terminal, rca cable ground lead terminal, crossovers, bass boost, etc. U say that the gain is at the side of the cossover but i dont see that in the amp, so u mean that is inside of the amp? thx for all dude.

si el manual es en español busca la palabra ganancia, generalmente esta expresada en volts, desde 0mv hasta 6volts o algo asi , si la ganancia (gain) es muy alta estas forzando el amplificador lo que puede generar calentamiento, pero yo le voy mas a tu cable de tierra.. es lo suficientemente corto, no debe medir mas de mero y medio...

suerte....

Gracias mano, voy a ver entonces que es lo que pasa bien, dices que el cable de tierra debe ser de menos de metro y medio?, yo tengo el amplificador en el baul del carro junto con los bajos, y se lleva bastante el cable de la planta de tierra a la bateria, sera algun corto? o sera que debe ser mas grueso? gracias mano.. perdonala molestia!
