As Bill has said.... he need more info. Just from what you have said, there could so many things wrong. So we needs the specs on the subs and the specs on the amp to help us find the problem easier.

It sounds like you might have the subs hooked up in parallel which has dropped your ohm load below what the amp is capable and it is overheating and going into overheat protection mode. (turning off)

could be alot of things at this point. bad ground, subs to low of ohms, gain cranked all the way, too much voltage drop, ect.

IVe seen amps turn off with pioneer decks if you dont use the right wire for a remote.. they snap on for aminute and then nothin.. Wierd occurance tho. How is your wiring. Rigged like a newbie with a shit ton of duct tape? or done properly? good tight sanded grounds.. Right power wire size? not speaker wire.

i think the audiobahns are just too much sub for the ma audio amp..............

have you checked all your wires? are they all tightened down on the amp? check your remote wire behind the headunit. it could be a number of different things. really hard to lend some advice without knowing if you checked these things.

Alright well i called a guy at hellraising audio and he had me run some test on them and he also thinks they are wired as one of you said. My wiring is done right it was all professionally done so nothing is ducted taped my ground is sanded down and my power wire is 4 gauge along with my ground. I have a pioneer head unit. The guy told me it is not the remote because i ran the remote from the constant and it did the same thing. aw102n that is my model number for the subs. They are 450 rms a piece 900 peak power the amp is monoblock and 800 watts. They are dual voice coils also if you need more info to help me just write back thanks
