I have a question about my car stereo system.?
I just installed a system in my oldschool and for about 3 days my system worked fine. But the other day my subs will cut off when I turn my volume up pass 20. I have already busted 4 fuses in my amp and checked my head unit and it seems fine and all my wiring is perfect. I was told it could be my battery, but I dont have trouble with my amp cutting off its just that my subs will not play after a certain volume. I also know its not my battery because I had this car for a while and the battery is only 2 years old. I need help figuring it out. I was also told that my ground may be bad. I checked that but its not that either.

I have a 400 watt 2 ohm amp pushing a 2 12 inch subs that are MTX with a 1350 max watt. I had this same system in my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I put this system in my 1986 Cutlass Supreme Brougham about 1 week ago. For about 3 days my system would play just fine. But for some reason when I turn up my volume on my Jensen In Dash dvd player. My amp will stay on but my subs will no longer hit. When I turn the volume down, the subs will come back on and hit. I had this same system in my Jeep and I had no problems. I have 4 guage wires for the battery and gnd wire hook up. Like I said it worked for 3 days just fine. My amp will stay on but the subs will not hit for nothing. My gnd is hooked up to the trunk of my car and its touching bare metal. Also my lights do not flicker or did not flicker when it was working fine. My battery is 2 years old. My alternator my be the problem but my car is getting the proper charge. Also it started the day I jump started someones car. My alt is good.

you may have the amp briged to where its at a low ohm level. a lot of cheaper amps say they can be bridged at 1 ohm, just so they can advertise that the amp is 1000 watts, when in reality, its only stable at 4 ohms and can put out 250 watts. if your amp is bridged to low, it might have a sensor in it to shut itself off before you do any real damage. i hope this helped

If you bridge your amp than yeah that will happen.
If you didn't check your speaker for the hook up on that, yeah that will happen. I did that once where I hok the negative to positive so I would reccomend you recheck.
Anyways, one mopre problem m,ight be that your amp can't handle youe speakers and there is a power shortage.
If this help I want 10 points.

you need a better amp. the blown fuses means it's taking too much power than it can hold and it's melting the fuses because it's too hot. a higher powered amp will solve all your problems
