why is this happening???

[flava30 10+ year member]

After playing my stereo for a few hours and then switching CD's my voice cuts off and only bass is heard. The thing is that after I turn the head unit off and then on, not even a minute later the voice comes on...Is my amp getting too hot and if it is, why would it come back on after less then a minute and stay on until I switch CD's and have to go through the same process described above?

Head unit: Pioneer DEH-580mp

Speakers:

front door: (2) whip audios 6.5" 100w rms/200w

rear fill: (2) O2 audio 6.5" 100w rms/200w

subwoofer:Kicker solo baric L7 12" in a ported enclosure

Amps:

for sub: KICKER ZX750.1 MONO CLASS D

for speakers: Kicker ZX850.4 (bridged to 2 channels)

since the speakers are 8 ohms I have them on parallel to equal 4 ohms

I also have a Hifonics HFXR 2 crossover and a 1.5 farad capacitor

when ur speakers go out have you looked at the amp while they are out? does the amp go into protect?

the amp could be cutting out, make sure you have everything wired right?

how many ohms are you running that 4 ch it confusing in your post

yes it is, good question above? Make sure ur representing the proper load to each channel.

couse it says it bridge but it also says 8ohms in par

they are 8ohms speakers paired together for a 4ohm load... and the 4 channel amp is bridged to 2 channels with two speakers on each channel equaling a 4ohm load per channel...The thing is if it is going into protect mode why would it come back on and stay on? wouldn't it go into protect mode immediately and stay there?

Some amps cut off to prevent further damage

but why would it come on so quickly and stay on? I would figure that if it cuts off it should stay off longer, no?

it may, I have never used Kicker. I dont like them at all. It may just be a short, seems like to me.

a short in the amp or speakers?
