Amp Cutting Out

[cln]

As the topic says my amp keeps on cutting out. Is it my shitty battery or something more serious?

Check your earth,.... throughly.

My brother went thru 2 crossfire amps and they would start cutting out (intermitently) after about 2 weeks,... turned out his earth was not properly connected.

my 2 cents

i had the same problem i had a faulty fuse the one near the battery, and looking at it, it wasnt broken.

if the amp doesnt get enough current it would cut out, what size power cable your using? should be no smaller than 8 gauge cable for amps

I'm definately no audio guru but thought I'd share an experience. My friend just bought a car and was having trouble with the amp cutting out at highish volume levels. It would continuously start and stop. the amp was being run off the same power supply as the deck so I gave it it's own new power cable but didn't help. We swapped decks and the problem was fixed. I think it may be dry joints (stuffed soldered connections) in the deck.

What have you got hooked up to it? How are they configured? You may be overloading it and it may be 'thermaling out' - overheating. What type of amp is it?
