got a legacy la890 amp with 2x12 subs approx 300Wrms each - 8gauge power cable with 4 gauge earth cable.

Yesterday happily driving along with the volume on fairly low and noticed that there was no bass, pulled into a carpark and looked to see if the protection light came on - there were no lights on at all. Fiddled around with the wires later on, still didnt work so tried another amp and it worked, put the legacy back in and it worked straight away, no problems. Pulled out of work tonight and everything was ok, then the amp just cut out again, checked it and no lights are on. Can't be a power cable problem because ive had it installed for about 5months with NO issues

any ideas?

i did check the connection at the back of HU and it seemed ok but it may need soldering as its just been connected by electrical tape.
