If your speakers are pulling more power than what your amp is putting out it will turn the amp off after a while to keep it from catching fire. I would try putting a power cell on it next time.

u could just not have enough battery power or the load on the amp is to much. if the amp is in stereo mode it should work but if it is in bridge mode the ohms would be to low .. best thing is to get a sub amp with a 1 ohm stable capacity.. and you amp should be at least one third more powerful than the subs..eg: if the 2 subs is 1000 w each the the amp should be 2500 rms and up to prevent the amp from maxing out and over heating etc.
It's been my experience,that intense and low bass comes with a price,always remember u get what u pay for,so on that note,Try to get Rockford Fosgate Competition subs with a punch 250 or 500 trust me that it is a powerful combination.and if u can afford it get a choke to put on ur subs so they will only kick bass put tweeters in the dash and mid range speakers in the door u could use a dual rca jacks to install 2 amps at once and get a punch 45 amp for the tweeters and mids.hope this was helpful
if the wiring to the sub is correct, then you have something wrong with the amp itself... something is power surging to the subs which is causing them to blow
Error code 12 can sometimes be caused by a short circuit on the low voltage side of the installation. Could possibly be a fault with the controller itself which is low voltage.
The Alpine PDX-1.1000 is a physically small amp to produce the power that it does. The result is that it has less physical area for heat to dissipate. Running at or near it's maximum output into a 2 ohm load, it needs some serious airflow to keep it cooled down. I'd look for some way to get more air to it.
open up the pump, take out the check valve. wash in dish soap/hot water solution, scrub with old toothbrush, rinse off, reinstall & see if that makes a difference...
Sounds like the output transistors on the amp are blown. Were you slammin when it stopped or how did you find out it stopped working. It could be the sub failed then caused the ap to go which is why you get a little something from the JL.
Hi Saint108. You're describing it well, and i know what the problem is already. The MA audio amp, can't hold with a 2 ohm load. It's too low for that amp, that's for sure. Those are budget amps and they are not well built enough to handle low ohm setups like that. It's overheating and there's no ways around it..
Other than wiring your subs differently ! Just wire your sub directly (not in parallel) in a 4 ohm load, you will notice it will stop overheating that much. Do it quick, you'll most likely fry your amp giving it such hard work !!
The HUM you're hearing could be related to it also. Try that, and keep me posted on the status. Thanks ! Cheebster.
