Amp overheating?
#12
here is my amp its a boss riot R435, 2ch. i have it hooked to an alpine 12in sub SWS-1242D. dual voice coil. and here is how i wired it exactly. this is also how it showed in the alpine manual that i got for the sub.

Just to confirm that is indeed the problem, run each coil from the sub to its own channel on the amp, reset ur gain, and bump it like u did before. As long as there is no permanent internal damage to the amp, you'll see that it no longer gets sizzling hot and won't cut off anymore either. My suggestion, get a new 1ch amp that does at least ur subs rms at 2 ohms

I had a similar issue with my Infinity amp a few years ago and my issue was that it would get hot and then it would go into protection. And then when it would cool down I could turn it back on and everything was fine until it got hot again. My issue was that I had a back ground wierd issue but it fixed the problem and I haven't had this issue since. So it might be something to look into maybe. Just for the heck of it.

millhouse thank you for pointing that out. i was a little weary of wiring it myself. as it was my first time ever wiring an amp and a sub. i just followed the directions. but i still think im going to upgrade to the alpine M500 regardless. i was also thinking of running it at 8ohms. but i dont want to loose so much power.
I went out and drove around and it overheated and i checked all the wires making sure none of them where hot and checked the ground multiple times and everything is good.
