Amp problems...can anyone help.
After about a year of my amp working flawlessly it has started to play about 5 minutes and then cut out for 10 seconds or so and start playing again. I had my alternator and battery checked out and that is not the problem. Would anyone have any clue what is wrong? I have tried everything and can not figure this one out, but it is driving me insane. If anyone is interested it will be going up for sale and I will be buying a Power Acoustik amp to replace it. Just PM me, .

Thanks for the help guys, I am going to school to get a meter and check everything out and will probably be buying a new amp in about 2 to 3 weeks.

Try with other speakers first. Have you read the manual???? Checked the status lights on top during the issues?

Read the portion about status lights and then the troubleshooting section.

By any chance was / is it REAL hot outside when you get in the truck and use it? My 4-channel /Alpine was doing the same thing, and just touching it, it was insane hot; I imagine it goes in to protect mode. It will play at low volumes, but at higher ones it will play for a second then pause/reset for a few more seconds and repeat the sequence, until it cools down enough to play normally.
My amp works fine in regular weather.
