Hello all, i have a problem with my 2 dvc 4 ohm subs, at first for a few days i had no problem it has a gain remote that i have installed under my dash for easy access to, i turned it up just to check them out and they sound great and i have turned it down to about half or a quarter and today when i got in my car and took off they shut off, the amp does not go into protect mode its weird, and they will come back on if i wait awhile and idea why thanks:

your amp maybe overheating if it's in a tight spot. Also check your ground. Is it on bare metal? Did you sand the paint off? Also you should be using minimum of 4gauge wire. If not that could be your issue I've seen it before

Also, check voltage on your power and your rem, loose wiring etc...

Thanks for the help guys ill check on this and get back to you |
When it's all turned down it's not drawing nearly as much. That would explain why it didn't shut off. againt once it starts drawing alot(when you turn it up) the input voltage might be dropping too low or your ground isn't strong enough. Get a multimeter on it and see what's going on voltage wise
