bass/amp cutting in and out at high volume

mousitch · 08-20-2010, 02:57 PM

My amp is cutting out at a high volume...No monster loud just a little above 1/2 id guess. Whenever any bass hits it will go out and come back at like every other bass line. Anyone else have happen/solution? No warranty left. $1100 amp. DSP/TOP with navi.

Could it be heat or overload related? The amp may be shutting off temporarily to protect itself from damage on high power content.

The amp has either a thermal overload protection or current overload protection or both. If you are playing it extremely loud, you probably just have to turn it down. If this is a new problem, possibly one of your speakers is shorted out and drawing a current overload. First thing to do is check each speaker and make sure none of them are bad.
