need help subs are shuting off nd back on

[BabyD91904]

buyin a 600 watt amp aint gonna help jus cuz it matches subs. the subs are 600 watt max a piece MAX means they are only abt 300 watt rms gettin a 600 watt amp is only got to be pushing 250 to 300 watt rms a piece meaning 250 to 300 per speaker. it will only push max 600 watt on ONE speaker. its probably a grounding problem or a wiring problem or your amp is jus crapped out. I had this almost same problem with one of my amps and it was my RCA input was breaking lose from the motherboard inside the amp I replaced amp with another one b4 i found out that was the problem i still have the old amp and now use both my 550 Watt & my 460 Watt amp's on 2 rockford p1's in a non ported box and its hitting harder than ever and a cap is good to save on ur battery power unless u have a seperate battery for your amps to run off of. been into car audio for 6 yrs now.

I'm running a 300 watt rockford fosgate mono on 2 12's. I had a similar problem. my subs would hit for while and blow. I turned the gain down a nudge and turned off the base boost on the head unit. That fixed that. Then I had the issue where it hit as long as the car was running. I'd turn the car off leave the radio at about 25 and it cut out came back on repeatedly. I got the capacitor and that cleared it up for a little while. But its back. I haven't really had time to check the ground. I said all that just to say that the capacitor may or may not clear it up. Check your frequency, gain, and i think there is one more and the ground. I'd install the cap simply to protect the amp and the battery.

Caps don't do anything but smooth out voltage irregularities from the battery.

Most of these amp problems sound like the undervoltage protection kicking in.

Ok so when you say under voltage what exactly do you mean. Is it that the amp is not getting enough power or that it is not sending enough out.

[sonikaccord]

It means the amp is not getting enough voltage...either bad connections or bad battery.

my light is blue when its on and when it stops its still blue i drove with the back seats down nd the rear view poined at it and it jus stays blue any oth opinions?

As what i see here it looks like your amp stays on all the time. Where did you hook the remote wire?

[BILLYBOPROCK]

Hey check your battery terminals I had that happen to me once and turned my negative had somehow melted off my own experience.

Sounds like if the light is steady on when the hu is off, check your ground. the power should only turn on when the hu power is on.
