i just installed a new stereo to my car. also when the bass goes too high, the amp cuts off and i have to turn off the car and start it up again for the amp to work again. now my question is in two parts. one why does it do that, im assuming its either too much power to the subs or too much power to the amp. also i played with the bass knobs on the amp. is it better to lower the bass on the amp and put the bass higher in the radio. or lower the bass on the radio and put it higher in the amp. i know it sound hard. what will give me a better kick without losing the amp in the middle of a song? and girls(JK)
 
hey if you have a face plate that you can take off on your head unit then when it shuts off just take the face plate off then put it back on again...the you don't have to shut your car off... but i think its doing that because your not getting enough power to your amp..what size amp do you have and what gauge wire do you have? that used to happen to me when i had a 6 gauge wire hooked up to a 2000 watt then i switched to a 4 gauge and it never happend again.. it could also be your amp overheating.....
 
Your amp is probably shuting down cause of it overload protection feature.Make sure the amp and subs your using are compatible. To do this simply see how many watts of RMS power your amp puts out per channel and make sure its not more then what the subs max RMS power handling is. Also make sure your using a strong enough gauge power wire(I recommended atleast 4 gauge power wire). Another couple things to check are to make sure you have a good solid ground connection and that your subs/amp are running the same ohm's.
