HI i am having problems with mt MTX Thunder 342 amp hooked up to a 12" Xplod sub. the amp is connected using a 4ga power ofc cable straight to the battery with a 60 amp stinger fuse. The amp constantly turns off after about 5 minute intervals and turns back on . could it be overcurrent, over heating. the amps problem, the wiring, how cani fix this? thank you |

sounds like you either have the impedance too low. check how the sub is wired. or 4awg might not be big enough...idk the output on that amp, but a cony Xplode can't take that much power so i doubt its that. maby gains are set too high. |

i might be changing my amp to a hifonics ZX6000 zeus series runniong at 600 rms at 4ohm bridged, but that hoping that it may fix my problem, but i doubt it. |

the sub was bridged. the power is connected straight tot he battery, the ground is on a metal that is a part of the chasis, i didnt sand it off but there was no paint and it was clean. My car is a 1999 Honda CRV if that helps. What am i supposed to be looking for specifically. I tried setting the frequencies and the gains to lowest highest all medium , yet the same outcome. Any more sugestions? |
