    Amp problems

    I just got done this afternoon installing my amp. its a Lanzar VIBE 436. I have a serious problem of the amp just cutting out in the middle of a song. this is my 3rd amp and all of them had the same problem. The first amp i had was a 1000 watt pyramid and it had the same problem. i sent it back and got a 1600 watt pyramid hoping the problem would be solved, it wasnt. and the third one i got today as a gift. but ill try and explain this the best i can. i will be driving down the road and in the middle of a song the bass will just cut out. when this happens the protect light comes on. if i shut the radio off and reset the amp it works again but theres no telling for how long. ive asked numerous people and no one in the area seems to have a clue of what the problem might be. if anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreiated.

    on the old amps i did feel it and it was warm to the touch but not terribly hot. and i have thought that maybe my alt isnt big enough and its not getting enought power. its a 2000 watt amp and a 1000 watt sub, im in the process of getting another sub but i want to fix this problem first.

    I get a funny feeling that doesn't answer the question adequately.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?



    Under normal circumstances, a signature would go here.

    Is it possible you can give us some model numbers of your amp and subs
