Amp Cutting out?

[DeezNutz]

My 4 channel amp is cutting out when i turn up the volume, what is causing this?

 

 

the amp is 560w / rms 160 x 2

 

it is 2ohm stable and it is pushing a 10" sub.

 

I have the 4ohm dvc sub wired in parllel.

 

i don't understand this

Is the amp actually cutting off (as in loosing power) or is it just going into "protect mode"? Does it do it only when you have it cut up ... even when the truck is sitting still? I would guess it's either a poor connection somewhere along the line or it isn't getting enough juice. What size power / ground wires do you have and how long is the ground? Your ground wire should be at least the same size as the +12 constant and should be as short as possible (most suggestion 18" or less). Maybe that'll get ya pointed in the right direction anyway.

Yoou got it! the connection on my power wire was very bad. also the 8awg wire i was using from the amp install kit wasn't even close to "True" 8awg power wire.

so i went to my local Diamond Audio store and got some bad ass Blue power wire.

 

after comparing the wire ends the first wire was about half the size as the new one.

 

after installing the new power cable she's back to HUMPIN again.

 

 

thanx a lot.
