hey...
my dad dropped off my truck at the audio shop to get everything installed, and he drove it home fine with the stereo working. when i was looking at the cd player and stuff i noticed that at a certain volume level the speakers would cut out
(not that loud), then the subwoofer cut out and kick on and off as well as the speakers. the amp was making a weird noise and the amp got kinda hot. anyone know whats wrong????

o and heres the stuff in my truck

15" x.x.x.
orion 1200d (this amp was making the noise)
jl audio 5x7's in the doors,
powered by a 2 channel alpine amp
a clarion DXZ945MP
and a 200 amp H.O. alt.

Please help!!!!

The gain is only supposed to be set at half.

The gain setting could be anywhere depending on the pre out voltage of the HU and the range of the input sensitivity on the amp.
I know the Orion have up to a 5V gain setting, not sure on those HUs.
