help amp cutting out


Recommended Posts

first off i haven't had any problems with my amp its a rf t1500bdcp and i have 2 rf T1d212's running at 2 ohm's.

problem is every so often it will cut out for about 10 seconds. amp is not getting hot at all, the grounds are all good at 0.1 ohm is all im getting with my volt meter. its getting plenty of power so im stumped any help would be awesome.

thanks in advance!!

When mine did that was when I had a 4 gauge wiring kit with 2 kenwood performance series 1,800 watt amps. I Went to a 0 gauge wiring kit and it stopped. And it only did it when I was hitting hard. But, when I was just cruising and had it on low it was fine. If you already 0 gauge then idk. Bad wire maybe??
