whas goin on everyone? I have a problem...when i turn on my system, it will thump for about 5-10 min, then the over current light comes on and shuts off the bass output. now I am wondering if this pertains to the current from the battery or the way i have my subs wired, i have them wired 2ohm, (sony xplod 800W max each). does anyone know how i can fix this problem??

Sounds like the way you have your subs wired to the amp and it's getting to hot and cutting out. Try running them at 2 ohms and just hook it to one channel or bridge one sub at 4ohms.

You could also try a descent amp.

Yeah a guy locally had i think it was 6 of those amps,bought 1 and the rest were covered under warranty.He had a shop instlal it the first tiem so in no way (well maybe they screwed up) that he screwed u the wiring.Every couple weeks it owudl just cook itself.

Is your amp mono or stereo/ What's the model number?

Its a 1/2 channel stero amp, and the model number is XM-2150GSX...but I think I have solved the problem. I put the subs which are on a 2ohm wiring setup, on one channel...which in the other case before I had it on both channels. its hitting hard and fine now, but if there is anything else I can do, I will gladly accept input.

Assuming the subs are 4-ohms each, wire one to each channel of the amp.

Alright cool. I'll try this. Will this allow me to get lower dBs than I have now with it wired as 2ohm?

Maybe I should have asked if this is better than wiring it to one channel as 2ohm. Is it???
