Your power lead is too small. Should be running no smaller than 4ga if not 2ga. It sounds like your voltage is droping below 10 volts , when this happins your 4 channel is shutting down and the turn on delay is coming on. does the amp come back on like 3 seconds later?

I dont want to waste your time/money but if it were my system, I'd run 2ga.from the front Battery/Alt to the rear battery than 4ga. to the amps. This may not make it right but its how I would do it.
If that did not work, than I get a high amp alt.

this is being caused by lack of current.

you need a few things:
high output alternator
2AWG power and ground for battery, alternator, and battery to amplifiers.. then you need a distribution block to drop to smaller 4ga for teh JL amp and 4 or 8ga for the MTX
you may also need to reduce the gain settings on these amplifiers if they're set too high.

dunno. I just raed the initial question.

his stock alternator rating won't matter much.. it's the reserve that stock alternator has after the car's systems use what they need that's mroe important, and that's usually not much.
especially in newer imports

i think its the amp cuz i just change the wire to a 4 guage from the battery to the amp and when it hits it just cuts till base is done...
Now the question is
what kind of 4 channel amp should i get??
i want to run 8 speakers (6)sets of 6.5 and and a pair of 4x6 and i dont want any wining noise on it what amp will push it loud real loud besides the jl 300/4
