Amp Will Not Stop Overheating

posted by Chase on Sep 25, 2006

I have a MTX TC8001 2400watt amp
2xP312d2- Rockford Fosgate P3's 12inch dual voice running 2ohms on my amp and the amp says it supports it even had the spots labeld for 2ohms and i have a rockford 1farad Capacitor.
I have the bass and Gain settings on my amp maybe a little less than half way up and i have my amp in a spot with PLENTY of windows i mean like 5 windows blowing on it and a fan and it will not stop overheating and shutting off... i can wait like 5 minutes and it will come back on. It takes about 30 mins to overheat. I dont no wat to do ? is my amp bad? i just bought everything brand new and i am using a complete StreetWire kit and 4gauge wires i checked all the wiring for the voltage and they all came back 12volts so they r fine but yet it still overheats? CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLZZ!? thanks

i think your amp 400watts rms per channel. is your amp mono? if it is mono and you have 2 subs hooked up. i think your subs are 500 rms each then the amp is working to hard and does not support for 2 subs you need 1000 watt rms combined or 500rms x 2 channels @ 2 ohms. so 1000 watt rms mono amp @ 2 ohms or a 2 channel amp with 500 watt rms per channel @ 2ohms. im sorry but your amp dose not work i know it say 2400Watt max but you dont run subs on maxx all the time you need to look at rms watts per channel at 2 ohms
