mine also kept doing this i was running two amps, was fine for about half hour at any level altho protection light flickered on both amps when low bass rumbles. then after bout half hour or so it wud cut out if at any relativly loud vol. it def not the amps overheating cos they werent that hot. I have taken the system out as the car is forsale but wud like to know suggstions of problems (ie basically if my hu subs or amps are fuked or more likey dodgy wiring? ] | |

i just tried it with a power tester screwdriver and it was fine, didnt pop anything and the remote is working fine, i will try it again when the amp turns of to double check that the remote wire is ok if not then i know something from the headunit is playing up | |

quote: Have you actually done this before? Would be very risky! The remote output on the headunit is only designed to give a very low current, if you draw too much then you'll blow the remote amplifer inside the HU. I would NOT put a bulb on the remote wire. :) | |

get a light bulb, and wire one connection to an earth, and the other end to the ampifier end of the remote wire. when the amp goes off if the light goes off with it then it is a faulty remote wire. | |

Also make sure that your speaker wires are not touching each other. They could be coming into contact with each other and shorting the amp out | |

Not sure if the light turns red in protection, i'm not that familiar with your specific amp. | |

the amp actually turns off, so i dont think the speaker wire will affect it, but im using good quality wires from the amp to the speakers and a good phono lead from the headunit to the amp! | |

if all your wires seem to be connected properly, then it sounds like its going into protection. | |

check your earth, and the cables running to your speakers, what speaker cable are you using?? | |

my front speakers are run straight of the headunit, my rear speakers are run of a Alpine v12 amp, and just recently the amp/speakers just turns of for a while!!! |
