What amp syould I choose

[rshodunke]

I need to find an amp that will not cut off due to heat protection mode, and one that could power three 800 watt earthquake tremors, each 8 ohms. I currently have a mono Kenwood 1800 watt Class D, but it dosen't hit all of the notes and the amp cuts off after 30 minutes. I'm on a budget of about $300-$400 for amp, any suggestions would be helpful thanks.

try hifonics or phoenix xenons....both good and both good with heat.

What is the RMS power on each sub? I couldn't find it online. I saw that the 10" Tremor's are 250RMS, and 500 peak.

And with 3- 8ohm subs, you will need that power at around 2.6 ohms.

The subs are 400 rms a piece

kx1200.1 can be found online for around $320ish for a refurb

for a kenwood amp to be cutting out like that, id figure its either defective, or your gains are set all the way up to compensate for lack of power needed to run those subs. are you sure what you have is really set up properly? that amp is only rated at 900 rms @2 ohms i think.
