New subs keep cutting out.
I just got a pair of JL Audio W0's and a JBL 300.1 amp. They play great
but will just cut out after about 5-10 minutes of playing. The power light on the amp is still green and I checked the wires and everything is wired together well. Just wondering what I should check out. Is the amp bad?

Just wondering what I should check out. Is the amp bad? How do you have them wired? If they are in parallel they then they are presenting a 2ohm load to the amp (assuming they are each 4ohm) and though I have not personally used the JL amp I bet that it does not like the 2ohm load. Wire them in series too create an 8ohm load, use only one sub, or try and trade them for 2 8ohm models. Les |

JBL amps dont mind a 2 ohm load and they can even handle a 1 ohm load

The amp says it can handle a 2 ohm load. The salesman sold me the amp
and promised that it would be able to handle it. -- Golden80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online! View this thread: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb2/sh...hreadid=154708 |

I have the jbl 300.1 also. I had a 2ohm dual voice coil in each I wired
in parallel for a 1 ohm load. Allthough the amp's specs claims it can handle a 1 ohm load, the amp gets very hot and does shut off in 5-10 mins. A 2 ohm load though, and the amp runs fine. (still a bit hot, but I guess that's common.)

Are you running a single DVC sub or a pair? If it's a pair then the amp was
seeing .5 ohms, not 1 ohm. If you have the loudness on the HU turned on it can cause the same problem. Paul Vina "mixmastersmike" m wrote in message s.com... I have the jbl 300.1 also.
