It could be thermal protection, the sucker got too hot:-). I have had that happen many times on hot summer days in Cincinnati:-) when I had an RF amp (newer generation). Man those were some good times:-)

Sounds like your amp sucked your battery down low enough to shut your HU off. You could stick a battery in the trunk. If your engine was running? than a higher current alt.

ya my hu didnt shut off by itself... shut it off and turned itback on.....andi know it not my charging system cuz its only 600rms and i have never once had any dimming or anything also im from MN and i doubt it was heat cuz it was about 30degrees when it happend and it wasnt running to long......it couldbethe ground from the amp cuz when wedid the install we didnt have anything to sand off the paint so i just scraped the area with a screw driver but when i had my type-s this never happend...what do ya think??????

the weather is a factor, but that doesn't mean the amp can't go to protection due to overheating...

I would assume you were drawing too much power from your battery/alt and it just shut off. Mine did that for a while
