Before I begin to lay out the issue I'm having I'll give you a layout of products for reference.
Headunit
Alpine D300
Mids & Highs
Focal 6 1/2" Components
Focal 6x9"
Alpine Type S 4"
Subs
JL Audio 12W3 (2)
Amps
JL Audio 500/1
Alpine PDX 4.100
The issue.
Basically my mids & hi amp is cutting out when the volume is in it's higher stages. But wait before you say that it's over heating, I can get in my car at 6 am (low temp outside) and if I turn it up too much before I get 1 mile down the road its off, but if I cut the H/U off and right back on it's back playing and as long as I don't cut the volume up it will stay on. I've even felt the amp in the trunk after it's cut off and it's not even hot. I had the volume fairly high on one occasion and paused the iPod before parking and once I cut the car on the next morning it automatically unpauses and when the music started, before I could turn the volume down the amp cut out. What gives? Could it be the way my amps are wired because the 500/1 will still push the subs but there are no words.
Also I was running a Phoenix Gold QX4150 prior to the PDX and I know for a fact that it was overheating because it was ungodly hot in the trunk so I quickly replaced that but since installing the Alpine my subs are even deeper then before IMO but the highs aren't as high. The amp is running at HPF for all channels.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and other info needed just ask and I will reply if it would help in the investigation:grin:
Thanks in advance
