[Problem] Subwoofer keeps cutting out

[-[NoS]-]

just got my new sound system items installed

-Pioneer 12" subwoofer
-JBL gto75.4 amp

problem is that when i turn the volume up to a certain point... (About 20)
the woofer just cuts out

its very annoying

does anyone know why this is happening?

im thinking its the car battery or is it the amp or is it the cables used?
does the position of the amp matter?
its currently mounted on the back seat and the sub is in front of it when its folded up.



i dunno

anyone???

how old is the amp?
check if it the protection light comes on the amp.
you might be asking too much of the amp, and then it will cut itself off to protect the amp.

^^^ yea 2nd that check the amp see if its right power for the sub, might b over heating from underpowering

[destrukshn]

how thick is your power cables?
looks quite thin.

either...

poor ground
trigger is iffy
fuse & or fuse holder is rooted
amp going into thermal shut down
amp not able to run at low resistance i.e the way the sub is wired

check them and get back to us

the amp is brand new

here are the specs of it

and from what i can see the amp should run it fine
or am i wrong???

what type of cable should i b using for the sub???

[[ricer]]

i think its grounding

[destrukshn]

yes could be ground, and the other things that icacha said.

bridge

what do u mean by grounding???
where the sub or amp is sitting??

[destrukshn]

where the negative is bolted to the chassis, make sure it's got a clean connection to the body.

check the grounding of the amp...
or it could be that the amp isnt powerful enough.......

[Slow96GSR]

Could be amp protection like thermal, clipping, or ohms. Also could be bad wiring. Have it checked. I would think that if it was grounding the power, the fuse would have blown.
