Sounds like a short or your amp is blown. What exactly is your amp model and what subs do you have or at least what impedance are the coils and are they single or dual voice coil? How do you have it wired? ---

i fixed it, the amps were toast, i tried another 400 watt amp it worked for bout 20 mins then did the same thing so i figured out the too small amps were overheating and burning out, i now have a 800 watt infinity and its going good ---

how long is you GR wire … your post said the GR went all the way to your batt. … you GR wire should only be 3ft long .what size wire… this is stuff you should not “cheep” out on… this is why the amps were going into safe mode… you should be able to run a 100w amp or a 1000w amp it does not matter this post > [@speedped79](#): > > also tried diff ground **groudinmg it on the batt** - diff power wire everything i cud think of
