Why is my system shutting down?

[kmartin575]

I have an Alpine MRP-M650 600X1 Watt amp powering two Kenwood KFC-W3011 12" single voice coil 4-ohm subs, each of which is rated at 400 RMS. After playing music for a little while the system shuts down, particularly when I have the volume turned up pretty high. After I turn the ignition off and turn the car back on the subs are playing again. Anybody know why this might be happening? I have the subs wired to the amp in parallel. Could a bad ground be causing this? I'm drawing a blank, any suggestions would be helpful.

if ur ohms are to low the amp could be trying to play to low and go into protect( gets to hot .. not sutable for the ohms u have the speakers wired in)

I have the gain at 0.5v and the bass boost at 8dB (the max is 12dB).

So what causes that? And what can I do to fix it? Turn the gain down? Or something else?

many things can cause it,

bad wiring,

gain,

BASS BOOST,

try it after you turn it off, and see what happens, if it still goes into protect, trying lowering ur gain.
