I have an Audiovox Rampage AMP 610 car amplifier powering a sub woofer I have.
The amp is 4 channels and 500 watts max at 2 ohms. I'm running one sub so i have bridged the amp on 2 of the channels. So that is 250 watts, and at 4 ohms (which is what the sub is) that number is lower. It's a 12" pioneer single voice coil, 800 watts max sub, so no problem with power handling here.
The problem is that the amp, when turned up past certain, non satisfactory levels, simply stops working. I thought it was the ground first, so I got a thicker ground cable and grounded the amp in a great spot. Next i tried turning down the amp gain, and turning the bass up on my deck, but once it reaches a certain point, the amp turns off and won't turn on again for at least 10 seconds and the deck is turned down. I looked in the owners manual and said that if the amp has to turn itself off for any reason it will display a red light, which it isn't. The power cable i have is very thick and has a built in high power fuse so that isn't the problem either.
I have done research and seen others with the same problem but either not enough information is given or the solution given doesn't work.
