reedal Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 For starters, where did you ground your amp at? Are you sure it's a tight, wiggle free connection? How did you set your gain? And are you using the "bass boost" setting?

punchy Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Posted January 22, 2016 I sanded the metal bear no pain i grounded it in the trunk wall and I used a boat with a lock nut no wiggle whatsoever the gain is not even turned up a quarter of the way in everything else is turned all the way down no bass boost
reedal Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 I'd say that's probably not a good place to ground, and a bad ground will definitely cause an amp to cut off when it's trying to draw more current than the ground can support. If you can, try and ground it directly to the chassis, or run a length of 1/0 wire to your front battery ground. Some people suggest grounding to a strut tower, but with no personal experience of that one, I don't know how good of a ground it really is.
