i have a kx2500.1 and 2 fi q's in my car for about a month...all of a sudden my bass cuts out today and then comes back on and my amp goes into protect mode. it seems to only happen when the music is up and the subs are pounding really hard. it sometimes cuts out for like a minute or so and then comes back on pounding again. i checked all my grounds and cant find what the problem is. it seems really wierd that it started happenin for the first time in a month.

what ohm load are you running the q's at? also are your gains set correctly? make sure all of your grounds are still secure.

They would have to be dual 2ohms to get a final impedance of 2 ohms...
Just making sure your running them at 2 ohms since the kx2500.1 is not stable at 1 ohm...
