November 9, 201014 yr ok, there we go. Well, we have successfully found out it's not caused from improper wiring.

November 9, 201014 yr unless u had a loose speaker connection... i would assume so...However, can you cause your amp to shut off if u crank it to the max for just a few seconds?I've messed around with several setups where the signal going into amp is clipped so bad that it causes the amp to go into protect and right before it does, it causes the sub(s) to play some odd oscillating tone.RCA grounding problem in headunit is main problem with those type of setups.If u got a Pioneer or Kenwood headunit, you may want to wait on exchanging your amp if u fall into this category...

It is usually accompanied with noise from the low-pass coils.
November 10, 201014 yr Author Well I met with 98GMC today (very nice guy) and we bumped the system hard for just about 2 hours and the amp played just fine. I guess I'm just gonna wait till something blows and then look into something different. Thanks again for everyuones effort!
