sounds like the amp is going into protect mode. how are the two subs wired?

I did an install of that amp on two 12" type R's (2ohm DVC) and it works really well, i agree w/ scott_fx, check to make sure your subs are wired properly, so you have the right load on the amp

since i think the e type only comes in a 4ohm single voice coil, i would suggest making sure that the subs are wired in parrallel so that there is a 2ohm load on the amp, therefore the amp would be pushing 600 watts [more then the RMS for those subs but not unreasonable, they should be able to handle the extra 50 watts]

hope this helps ...

i have both 12's hooked into the mono amp but i have a 4 gage power wire runing into a spliter one power wire goes 2 my 450 wat 6 channel and one goes 2 my cap then 2 m,y vpower amp but i already had the amp checked out and it works fine but i just tried hooking up another deck and it worked fine so i think it might be the deck but still need advice on what 2 do???

please explain how they are hooked up? let us know where each speaker lead is getting attatched to.

well if it is the deck [i assume you mean headunit/radio] then i guess your options are replace it, get it repaired, or umm replace it, what deck is it? how old and where did you buy it .. or is it stock?

i have red hooked 2 red and black hooked 2 black but i sent my deck in earlier 2day and i tried hooking a new deck up again 2day but it still does it ???

Is it really hard to type using correct punctuation, spelling and capitalization? "2" is one keystroke, "to" is only two; where's the shortcut?

Here's so moonjavie can read:

so you have two subs? are the dual voice coil? do you have each terminal on the voice coil wired to it's corresponding terminal on the amp? (i.e. all the +[red] terminals on the speakers each going to the +[red] on the amp and vise versa with the -[black terminals])
