Re: When the volume is turned up both 12s cut out...
U will need to install peak power capacitors, this will cure the problem, contact a car stereo shop for more info on this fix and the capacitor kits needed.
wow gave you the correct answer, solved the same problem on my car, but guess u think my advice is incorrect, sorry i answered this one, good luck my friend.wow gave you the correct answer, solved the same problem on my car, but guess u think my advice is incorrect, sorry i answered this one, good luck my friend.

No, this sounds like a speaker problem to me.
It sounds like the voice coils in your speaker(s) have been fried.
What happens is the part that is burnt does not funtion, but as you increase the volume/voltage the speaker "jumps" foward to a section of voice coil that is not as damaged.
Check your speakers!
You did not specify the model you have - however the Flex series is only stable with a load of 4 ohm mono (bridged) and 2 ohm (stereo).
You are driving the amplifier to work too hard, and it is shutting itself down.
Re-wire using one subwoofer (bridged) or wiring the subwoofers on seperate channels.

Check the wires for a lose connection or corrosion. You may need a capacitor.
Basically, at low power the amplifier
is not asking for a lot of power from the electrical system to power
your sub woofer. For lack of a better term and probably the best way to
explain it is. It uses up all the power in the wires leading to it at a
high volume, and has to wait for more. Kind of like when someone squeezes a garden hose
when your trying to use it. That would be the high volume, starving the
amplifier. The capacitor stores power in it to power the amp at high
volume. 2 farads would probably be bulletproof on a single amplifier
system, but 1 farad should work well enough. Or seek help from an
expert on exactly what size capacitor you should use. If you find
yourself saying: My amp cuts out.
If this assisted in solving your problem, please take the time to rate it. Thank you.
What do you mean it will bump, then cuts out?, Then you say it just wont't bump? Does it cut out after you go over a bump in the road, does the speaker bottom out and cuts out? Please you need to be a little bit clearer with the fault. and the symptoms.
Do you have the amp bridged first off? if you do unbridge it. Next,
1) Turn all the settings all the way down on the amp.
2) Turn your bass on the radio into the negatives (-2 or-3)
3) Turn the volume up to the point where your highs start to not sound good, then turn them down just enough to where they sound good again.
4) Turn your crossover to about half if your box is ported, or three Fiths if its sealed.
5) Raise your gain slowly untill either the volume doesn't get any higher or you hear the subs start to sound funny. Now turn it down just a hair.
6) Turn your crossover up a hair then down a hair and see what happens, if it gets a touch louder with out distortion then leave it. If it losses clarity then place it back to where it was.
7) Listen to a couple songs you know well and stand in front of your subs at volume to be sure theres no distortion.
You should be good at this point let me know if you need something else.
