I have a PPI amp that is causeing me some problems. The amp powers up fine but when you turn the volume up it goes into short circuit protection. It only happens at higher volumes. Is this a problem with the amp or what? Any suggestions? Any thing I should check? Any ideas would be great. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

I would check how you wired your subs, that can cause your amp to go into safemode at higher volumes
