Got too hot.Do you have a fan in that amp? where did you install the amp?

[motobmx105]

no theirs no fan and its on the back of my seat and my seat was down, that was the first thing i did was reach back and feel it it was still cool not even warm ive had this amp to the point were you could hardly touch it, so i know it wasnt that...

Blown Fuse!
Check the ones on the amp itself and then the one on the power cable by the battery.

[motobmx105]

[FamousFreak]

True.

actually i think the fuse pops first if theres too much current going through.so i think

And I think if a fuse were blown, he wouldn't have any power, and no lights. Sounds like something might be grounding out. Or, perhaps the ohm load was too low? or, it could of went into protect mode due to a lot of distortion, it shuts the amp off, rather than to keep playing and blow it

If the power cable fuse blows then the amp will just turn off
but i always had a problem with my ground wire coming loose and my sub would just cut out so check that out too man

[h2290cb7]

x2 a blown fuse would give no power to the amp. sounds like some ground wire issues to me check those

[jcoleman_11]

if a fuse was blown, it wouldnt be on protection, it just wouldnt be on. like mentioned above, im pretty sure you had your + and - wires touch. check it out.

[motobmx105]

i pulled out all the fuses and they were all good so i put them back and turned on my streio and the damn thing worked lol so it works now im thinkin about getting a new amp whats
something better then my sony crappo xplod lol

[PointBlank]

sounds like you figured it out but in my experience i would say it to be a bad ground..if your planning on upgradding id go rockford or MTX thunder series..a 450x4 fosgate would rail your subs..
