How old are the subs? And is everything new (to you) or equipment you've been using before? And the only thing you changed was the box?

Re-wire and wire up to test and see of it protects again

whats your bass boost set to? its not too uncommon to have bass boost cranked without clipping. but keep in mind for every 3db you increase the bass boost knob your amplifier draws double the power, which could cause it to trip the protection circuit due to over amperage.

also how is your amplifier mounted? any chance it is building up heat? (like possibly installed upside down)

not sure if serious. but bad advice anyways.

LOL

Double check all the sub wiring.

Wurd.....

It seems strange that it WAS fine,... and NOW, it jumps into protect....

............................Voltage, or impedance ...... ............

thats what i was thinking maybe a wire came lose on the inside of the box or something. i have threaded rod as my box terminals and both coils wired to the box so i can change imp. with out taking subs out

since your soo good why post questions on the forum?

did you check the connections at the sub terminals? perhaps you made an simple mistake when re-installing them and their is an impedence error.

i very rarely post questions. I more often than not correct people like you who dont really have a firm grasp on 12 volt electronics. everything you said was factually inaccurate.
