Just put in a new system! 2 10 JLs and a 1000 watt amp. The thing is the JLs need lots of power and so my AMP keeps over heating and like turns on and off. I have it placed rite behind the sub box. Where can I put it so the amp will atleast stay cool enough to not turn on and off anymore?

what kinda amp lol and jls dont need alot of power..... there jlsMembers Ride sold...
I'm back...... with a coupe. oh boy here we go.

what kind of JL's...usually they only want 500 watts.
your amp may not be stable at like 2 ohms....depending on what each of those subs are ohms wise determins your power and how much power that amp can produce to the speakers.
is yourt amp a mono block? do you have a good ground...
how many RMS is the amp....the amp can be 2000 watts but only be about 200 watts rms per channel....its all a gimmick. you have to know the RMS to know if its right for the setup or not.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

Originally posted by Russyoun bridge the amp. Bridging it makes the amp want to run at 2 ohms, and push with all its mite. Do you have a 2 channel or one. If its one, then tell us how you are running your wires, running them wrong can have the same affect. You could still be running the amp at a lower ohm than its stable at. 1 or 2 or 4 channel amp? and how are your wires run?Members Ride sold...

Check the impedance on your subs. If you're using two 4-ohm subs and they're wired in parallel, your amp will see it as a single 2-ohm load. If the amp is only rated for 4-ohm loads, you'll suck too much juice, and your amp will overheat and possibly blow the output stage. Then you'll have to either get it fixed or buy a new amp.
On a somewhat related note, collapsed voice coils really suck. When an amp rated for 4-ohms sees an effective 1-ohm load, the results aren't pretty.~If everybody you knew jumped off a bridge...the bodies would pile high enough to break your fall if you jumped after them.~
