ok here's the situation....i purchased a DIgital Audio amp and an audiobahn sub..i hooked everything thing up and it worked great, the next day while I had it on it turned off on me..then about 3 hours later it worked fine.. then after of about 10 of working it turned off and thats where i am now.. I am getting power to the amp through the power cable, and all of the fuses are fine..but i havent checked if i am getting power through the remote wire..i need help..please!!!!! another question if i have 2 20watt fuses in my amp and a 40 AGU fuse in my power cable will this work fine or do i ave to buy a bigger AGU fuse??? had a friend tell me to buy a 60watt AGU fuse

Unless your 40A fuse blew... leave it alone.

sounds like you have thermal issues. make sure the amp can breathe! If it overheats it will shut down. Then it should start up again... if this keeps happening its cause your amp need either a larger heat sink or a fan by it... make sure air can get to it easily.

good luck

if your gonna test the remote wire... just jump a wire from the remote terminal to the 12+ terminal on the amp (leaving out the remote wire). if it works fine like that, then you have to figure out how to wire your remote to your HU
