Ok, I have a nakamichi HU, a pair of MB Quart pce-216's up front and a polk momo 10" sub in the focus. Now my problem is that the amp will go into protect mode at random times. The first day I put my sub in it was fine the whole day. The next day it cut off after 10 minutes and then came back on. The next day it lasted all day then cut off at night (this one was cause due to the ground being lose at the back of the amp) but then i wired it all back up, and on the 10 min ride home it did it again, just to come back on in a min. Then today, on the way to work, it cut off and immediatly ame back on, but this happened twice, both on deceleration coasting in neutral.
I have narrowed it down to three possibilities.(1) Bad ground from amp (its kind of a wack ground job i did)
(2) amps going bad
(3) bad ohm load causing protect (this because its only been going like this since adding the sub) I have an autotek amp thats in the 640watt range (not exactly sure) its a 2/4 channel and now i have it running in 4 channel with the front two powering the mb's and the rear 2 running the polk (i have the rear two bridged). Do you think this would cause a bad ohm load? If so, could i just hook up both channels (3/4) and then run them together into the sub. Would that make a difference at all in the ohm load
Any help would be appreciated. I really just want to be reassured that my amp isnt on the fritz lol. Thanks in advance all.
