I have a mono-block MTX amp running 1 12" sub. It will play fantastic for a few seconds to ~10 minutes tops, then the amp turns off (does NOT overheat) - all the lights go out.

Car lights do not dim or flicker, amp still turns off regardless of gain settings, volume, or drain from different levels of bass

Circuit City performed the install, sent the amp back to MTX, MTX checked it, returned it, it still does the same thing... Help please :(

Is your sub single voice coil or dual? If it's dual, is it wired in paralel or series? It's possible for an amp the heat up so fast, the outside is not hot to the touch.

Also, the next time it happens, use a paperclip and short the 12+ to the remote wire on the amp and see if it comes on.

Let me know, and be sure to leave feedback or I don't get paid
