8 guage is what you should use for that amp, no more no less... If you think 8 guage is thick, wait until you get voltage drops from a sub amp and get into the Big Three with 1/0 guage wiring //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

No offense, but this was a pretty pointless thread since you do not have an overheating amp...

Depending on WHY it went into protect mode, it should be okay though. Protect mode is there so that it stops output prior to whatever problem exists gets bad enough to do major damage. But sometimes it cant be avioded..

If everthing is hooked up right you should be able to run it without any problem. I used to run my 3 for hours and they would never cut off.

Do everything properly the first time and you wont have to worry. Get a DMM before you do any installation, so you can set your gain properly. Do not ask me what I mean by this, read the gain setting tutorial in the amp section (of this forum) and you will/should understand.
