I was messing with the buttons on my amp and it eventually just stopped pushing the subs. I dont think it was because I was pushing the button because every once and a while it will stop pushing and I have to stop and then turn off the car and turn it back on to get it to start again. The power button on the amp is not turning on but the amp diagonostics (display) is turned on. What should I look for?

 

check to see how hot it is , it might be in thermal shutdown.

 

Also, check the voltage at the amp. After running it a while, the voltage may be dropping to low and shutting down.

 

check all your fuses and connection. make sure everythign is ship shape.

if it huts down every now and then it sounds like thermal protection.

the fosgate i used to power a single 12 with used to overheat all the time

 

turn the "GAIN" down
check ground

 

If that is a Kicker SX-650.1, it is loaded with all kinds of features and settings. It also has about 5 different protection modes. I doubt that it is overheating driving two 10s. Unless they are connected incorrectly, or one or both have something wrong with them, such as a damaged voice coil, which could be shorting the windings and causing the load to drop to an undesired level. It may be a problem with voltage, such as something in your supply to the amp. Either power cable or ground is not sufficient and/or connected securely. Poors grounds are extremely common. If the voltage drops too much the amp shuts itself down to avoid damage. Of course, it could be one of several different things.
