just installed sony amp and sub in my tc, its turns on and works, until it hits 25 voluime, then the radio still is on, and so is amp but no sound?

why do you guys think that is?

to let you know i have the stock pioneer ipod upgrade from factory, we took old bazooka amp out and used those wires to use for the new amp.

could that have somehting to do with the prob?

 

if you turn it back down does the sub play agian?
or do you have to ait a little bit (5-10MIN) thenit works agian

OR
worked once and that was it?

 

if i turn it down it will be like 3-5 min before it will start back up. and its not only the sub, all sound in my car stops but the radio is still on.

 

it could be overheating, I had that problem years ago when I was into the sub and amp game, or it may not be able to handle the ohm load, who installed it and what are the specs of the sub and amp?

 

me and my buddy.
600watt amp
1100 watt sub

thats the amp and specs

 

did you adjust the amp according to the ohms the sub can handle?

 

heres how it is.
the amp i bought is powering all my radio ____, so it powers my radio on, ect.

but even without the sub hooked up it will give out to my normal speakers?

i just tried that. well how would i set my amp to the correct ohms?

 

what does the sub say it can handle?

 

Output Power
# 4 x 55W RMS @ 4Ohm
# 4 x 65W RMS @ 2Ohm
# 1 x 130W RMS @ 4Ohm - Bridged


# Maximum Power600W

 

What about the specs on the sub?

is it a 4ohm or a 8 ohm sub?
boostedbox06 is right with the amp could be over heating and going into protection mode.

 

4ohm

 

You need to bridge your amp to your sub to achieve the necessary 4 ohm load.

 

Is that amp powering anything other then the sub?

 

its powering my system.. my radio. all my speakers. and everything else that has to do with music in your car, after we took out the stock bazooka amp my raio wouldnt turn on until we hooked up the new amp then it turned on. im getting ____ed. so where do i get this bridge from and how do i do it?

 

That amp is not made for all of that. It is going into protection which means you are making it work to hard.

 

Ya what you should have done is gotten a mono channel amp for the sub and at least a four channel amp for the speakers...
