How do you have your subs wired to the amp? Do you have them parallel-wired or series-wired? The way you wire them to the amp will have an effect on how hard your amp works because of the ohm load.

i have the right sup to the right out and left sub to the left out.. i dont know what that it (parallel/series)

lemme check on the subs and i
ll get back to you all

if you can look up the subs too

they are MTX Terminators 10"'s

By what you are saying, you probably have it hooked up by parellel, and when you hook up a 4ohm amp to two 4ohm subs the amp will see a 2ohm load. So the problem could be that your amp is unstable at 2ohms, which is why it overheats and shuts off. The amp could be the problem, don't rely on me only though, wait untill someone else, maybe Will confirms.

looks to me like the subs are drawing too much power from the amp causing it to overheat. i suggest getting a bigger amp. 55w into each channel on 4ohm subs is nowhere near enough power to effectively push them. this draws more power from the amp causing it to overheat. get a bigger amp and it should solve your problems.

you mean my subs could sound louder?

Bl@ck

yup.... if the numbers for your speaks and amp are what was posted on here... you need at least a 150x2 @ 4ohms or 300x1 @ 2ohms amp to push those. they'll sound a lot cleaner.

sweet thanks for the info

acuradriva

becaus eyou under power the sub it draws more power from the amp?? who told you that?
