Check the fuse on the Amp itself, and the inline fuse at the battery...

problem solvecd it kept shutting off on accesory, gues it needs the full voltage to stay on, damn amp draining my batter already :drool:


aother question, amp has a bass knob, and when i turn it to the upper 1/2-3/4 range, subs clip (ithink), that just means too much power rite?

well its amps that clip, not speakers. speakers will just blow out if they are overdriven, amps will clip out if too much power is going thru them and a switch is tripped over

when your amp clips out, u wont get any sound til u turn your amp on and off and let it cool down. its a safety measure for the amp.

when u are overdriving your speakers, they will make weird sounds that make u think "i should turn it down"

either way, turn it down for now til u figure out what needs to be upgraded or fixed.
