Ok well I have a kicker 15 running off a 600 watt amp. Well the sub keeps cuttin in and out as I go down the road. What could be the problem? Someone told me instead of bridging it....to run like one from each of the two channels to the speaker. Should I do that?

I'd guess that it's your ground as well. Let us know if that isn't the problem.

Is this a new problem or has it happened all along?
It sounds like the amp maybe overheating and going into thermal protection. |

Check all your wiring. If it only happens while your driving then it sounds like wires are loosing contact. Also it might be a problem with your power supply gettin short. So your amp might be taking more than your battery and alt. can take.

From what little info I found about Urban Works the amps are not bridgeable. If you are bridging the 2 voicecoils to a 2ohm load that is probably the problem. Try one voicecoil to each channel and see if the problem stops.
