I just put in a 200w pioneer amp to power my MB quarts in the front. I have an EQ on my headunit, and i have it adjusted so i can just change the bass and treble depending on what i want to listen to. My problem is that when i have my bass up and the stereo playing pretty loud, my amp cuts out. The low pass filter is off, gain at normal, and its running to crossovers. Any ideas as to why it cuts out on me? BTW, i thought it was my ground, but it looked fine. I re-did the ground anyways, but its still doing the same thing.
Thanks --------------------  |

1) bigger wires (4G then distrubution block to 8G)
2) power capacitor OT it is acutally more damaging to the speaker when u underpower it, instead of over powering it |
