trouble with the amp connection
 
so last few days ive noticed that when my 15's hit the amp will turn off for 2 seconds and go right back on and it does this over and over no fuses are blowing .. everything connected to the amp seems right.. should i just replace the the fuse holder under the hood that goes from the battery to the amp ?

Did you check to make sure the amp is stable at what ohms you have the sub?
Of course check all connections and grounds again, and make sure that ground is good!
The 15's could be trying to pull to much power, causing the amp to go into overload protection. Try to play them at a lower level volume using the same song and slowly work your way up and see if the amp cuts out then.
Also is it cutting out even if you get right into the car after it has cooled down?

the subs are probably pulling too much power. replacing the fuse under the hood wouldn't do much good, if you pull too much there, the fuse will blow. so if its not blown, replacing it won't do you any good, other then wasting your money

What do you have them wired at? Is it a dual voice coil sub and what is the ohm rating on the amp (what is it stable down to)?

Back your gains down slightly. Old school rule of thumb: no more than 3/4 of the way on the gain dial.

Hey if you have easy access to the subs and they are dual voice coil, then try to run only one of the coils and see what it does. Check your polarities too. Good luck man!
