problem with my system

[SNapper]

So I was driving down 985 with some music playing pretty loud and all of a sudden it just lost all it's power and got really quiet. Then it came back on like normal again. So now it's going back and forth between hardly any sound, from my back speakers that run off the amp, to normal sound. It could be a loose wire or something but could this be my amp gone bad?
I have a kicker amp and a 2 full range kicker boxes with 8" speakers.
Let me know if you have any advice...

It may be a blown voice coil if you are talking about subs. Because if it is blown the voice coil will sometimes realigns itself so you get normal sound for a few minutes but then fades out. You can test this when you see them stop hitting, push the cone down evenly and it should comress the voice coil.

Before trying this check the amp to make sure it is getting power.

check your ground and battery fuse block. it may be loose.

[sagarchahal]

take your subs out of ur box and see if the wires are un connected

[type-r swap]

check the fuse on ur amp if u have two fuses one might b blown

[nx2000det]

you could also be overheating

[Z32redondo]

Overheating. Im guessing that most likely you have your amp mounted directely to a carpeted surface or somewhere air cannot circulate underneath it. Just get a smal 2x4 and cut off 4 2 inch sections and mount your amp on these. They leave enough space so heat can come out from under your amp.

My amp did the same thing and this help a shit load. Most amps have a heat sensor and when it gets too hot it will shut off so that it dosent damage anything. Then it will cool itself down and then power back up.

might be a wire or fuse or ur shit getting to hot and going into protection

Yall are about 3 months late. I would imagine he figured it out by now.

Damnit...well better late than never I guess.

you dont need subs anyways...heavy pieces of shit...

[Z32redondo]

you dont need subs anyways...heavy pieces of shit...Well for the people that like more than speed when they get in a car they are quite nice. Dosent have to be the loud ear cracking ones but i mean it definately gives music a little more than just a stock system. You hear parts of songs that you couldnt hear before.

[ejohnson88]

i must agree... I like the SQ that subs add...

[TI08]

its most likely your wiring. some wires mess up when they are to close to others idk why or how but it happened to me to and i just re wried the whole thing and it stopped so just go back and double check everything and it wouldnt be your amp cause it would come on at all cause if it was your amp your fuse would of blowin most likly but its pro just wires.

[Nittanys1]

Im going to say the amp is overheating...NSCredondo has a great easy cheap idea on how to fix the problem

[SNapper]

wow this thread is old. it was my battery cable. it was lose.

[Tree]

it could be the amp on the radio. mine did that it that is the problem

[RISKYB]

sounds like it overheating, as stated above

[95alty]

Overheating.... happened to me i just done push it as hard any more... turn the highs and lows down a little bit and take the SUPER BASS BOOST off lol... tune it down to about 5 or 6 db so that you down run the amp to its grave... then when you want to show off turn that shit up...

PEOPLE READ>>>>>>he said what was wrong....

I was waiting to see how long this would go til someone actually read anything. Funny how they can offer advise, yet not read through the whole thread.

[SNapper]

lol nice. by the way i don't have SUBS. It's full range boxes.

[LSkid96]

if u have a 2 channel amp it will cut out if you are trying to run highs and mids off it you need a 4 channel amp to run your highs and mids the best way to do it is run dual amps
