My Amp shutting Offf???
Thursday, June 29, 2006 1:55 PM
hey, I just bought a new system last week. I bought 2 10's premier subs and a 800Watt Extreme Amp. I also bought a Pioneer deck. Anyways,, when i drive the car for a while, and have the subs blasting.. the amp quit's and about 5 or 10 mintues it comes back on.. I looked and when it's working there's a blue light on (power) when it quit's theres a red light on ( protect says beside it) what could be going on??? the amp is getting really hot?? is this normal.. thanks

that means its overheating, you have to high of a load on the amp, or you are cranking it too much

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.

if it's fan cooled, maybe the fan isn't working properly? also check the ohm load of the subs.
