Ok so occasionally (ie tonight) and everyonce in a while when i turn my volume up to over 32 or so, my front speakers will cut out either briefly or until i turn it back down under 30.. this doesn't happen often.. What do you think could cause it.. what im thinking is that either my power or ground wire is a being pulled a little tight and might of come loose, maybe everyonce in a while i hit a bump or som ething and the wire shifts to a point where it cuts off sometimes... i donno.

i havn't been able to get to the back to check if the amp is doing anything funny. mainly because i'd have to find an empty parking lot (bitchy neigbors, police station right across the street )

gains set to high i had this happen to me and that was the culprit or it could be a loose wire

alrighty. I'll check the gains tommorow morning, thats probably it, if it was a loose wire i think it'd happen more often.

Speaker Gremlins...they run rampant in your neck of the woods. They only come out at night, they only attack at volume settings of 31 or more, they also sit and play tiddlywinks on the amp until you open the trunk. Yea those lil guys are a pain in the arse.

lol

I would think the gains are possibly too high also. What does the amp do when this happens, go into protection?? Bad ground could be the problem also, I had some speakers that would cut out but only if I turned sharp and then would come back on after a minute. It turned out to be a bad ground in my case.

i have no clue what the amp does, i .... im about to go out and work on it in a few minues. i have some now headlights to install, i also need to get to properly mounting one of my front speakers, and then i'll adjust the gains.. it wasn't doing it today btw. The ground should be good, its essentially the same as my other amp's ground, paint was scratched off, etc hell, i had a shop do both my grounds.
