Amp problem?

[Jake2727]

I have an amp and subs in my car. The amp power light blinks and subs stop working and it goes in and out when music is played. I made sure all the connections were solid, Checked fuses. Not sure where to go from here! Any recommendations?

Right now I have 4 Gauge powering the system.
Here’s some more details on the Amp:

• each sub handles up to 500 watts RMS
• 2-ohm total impedance
• mono sub amplifier (500 watts RMS at 2 ohms)

I did not install this….. Truly have no idea what i’m doing.

Why would he need 1/0 for a 500w amp?

4g is more than enough for 50pw

Any recommendations?

Get a hold of a multimeter and measure resistance at the sub box terminals. It should read ~2 Ohms. If it reads around there, re-check all connections. Take power wires out of the fuse holder, clean and tighten the connections.
