Sounds like the amp is shutting down in protection mode. What is the speaker impedance connected to each channel, and did you set the gain properly? ------------- Support the12volt.com

There is absolutely a gain adjustment, although it may be called an Input Level control. See page 14 of your owner's manual. ------------- Support the12volt.com

You need to set your gain properly. Read this thread. Also, what is the voice coil impedance of your subwoofer(s) and how are they wired? ------------- Support the12volt.com

I really don't no the imedance but my sub amp is connected as.. the power I'm getting it from a distrabution block ground I'm getting it from a bolt that holds my back bottom seat and remote from the radio, and the rca from back of the radio to where it says "sw"... and its a 2 channel amp so I have I have each sub connected to a channel and the voice amp is connected power thro the distru. Block differnt ground to another bolt remote is conected from my sub amp to the voice amp and I have 1 rca ran with splitter so I can use all 4 channels for voice
My voice just turns of for a second the most.
When the voice cuts of my subs are still working...

Move your ground... The seatbolt is a VERY bad place to get your ground.
Clean a spot of paint from the chassis, and bolt to that.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

You said you are getting your ground from the seatbolt... If you are connecting both of those grounds through a distribution block, which is what I get from your post, then

Just because you switched the ground wires on the amplifiers themselves, you are still referenced to a crap ground point.

Did you ever set your gain properly? Plus I though you said you used one 4-channel amp for both your subwoofers and your main speakers? ------------- Support the12volt.com
