Re: Subs cutting out
make sure its grounded good. it sounds like the amp is going into protection, to find out watch the amp as the music plays, it should have a light on the side that tells you if its going into protection mode... after you make sure its grounded well, if it still does it then up the size of your wiring. may need to go to 4/0 awg..
EDIT: after thinking about it... how do you have them wired? heres some ways RF recommends you wire them.. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/produ...9&locale=en_US click on the WiringWizard after you open the page, it will show you a bunch of wiring diagrams.. they're all bridged and work at the correct impedance for that amp... i have a feeling thats going to be your problem right there...
