simple question, let me know what it could be
I have a civic, like nealry ever person on earth, and have 2 kicker 12s with a kicker amp, amp stays on and plays then I turn it up loud and it plays for like maybe a second and then just stops, kinda like its over heating the amp, or something but it plays at lower levels ok but usually i turn it up, everything is new wiring and new rca's just problem withg sound,
I have tried leaving radio on and unplugging like 1 rca at a time and if I pull one, it seems to get louder but when I turn it up it cuts out...
another quick question I wanted to be answered is if you have your amp bridged...do you need to put a Y adapter on your rca to make it the like the white rca would y into both L and R on amp? or would you just leave it

feed your amp with right and left rca normally - bridge is on the output of the the amp.
you are clipping your amp when you turn it up!!!
need to check wiring of amp - to low ohm load!

1. what are the impedences of your speakers? (4ohm, 8ohm, dvc?)
2. what impedence is your amp stable to?

heres what you do. go to radioshack or autozone or wherever and buy a multi-meter that can read ohms, take the speaker wire out of your amp and test it for ohm load. if it says anything lower than 2 you need to re-wire your subs. if it says something else and its the rare option that you have a kicker two channel amp (they only make one) you may have a bad channel on your amp
