I have a Jensen A600HLX hooked up to Rockford 12

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SOLID, STRONG GROUND CONNECTION BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!
Make sure you are using the proper gauge wiring for your amp.


Is the amp set up in bridged mode? What is the impedance (Ohms) of the Rockford Fosgate 12? If the impedance of the speaker is different from the impedance for the amp in bridged mode, it WILL get hot and cut off. Also, if you overdrive the amp, the same will happen.

The amp is stable :

75 watts RMS x 4 channels at 4 ohms

100 watts RMS x 4 channels at 2 ohms

200 watts RMS x 2 channels bridged at 4 ohms

300 peak watts x 2 channels bridged at 4 ohms

Also, what model is the subwoofer? What are the specs? Is it single or dual voice coil?

You can most likely mount a cooling fan on the amp and have it turn on using the remote sensor wire. If the amp still cuts out, you're overdriving it.

Good luck and keep me informed!
