alright so ill keep it simple, heres my issue. but firstly, my gear:

2 Directed Electronics 23124. 12" subs 750 watts peak each
Crunch BLX1000d amp
8 ga amp kit
Sony CDX M620 headunit

Ive had my subs/amp for about 3 weeks, and they were working fine, damn they pump hard. But now, just today, the amp went into protect mode, and continues to do so. trends:

-my car is not hot, neither is my amp, nor subs. so no overheating, im assuming
-my amp is screwed onto the back of my sub box with my backseat dropped. so, in other words, good venting.
-the music isnt that loud, especially compared to past playing before the problem came up.
-it has happened at low volumes
-the very last occasion that the amp cut, protect mode DID NOT come on. the bass just stopped for a few seconds, i lowered my headunit volume, and the bass popped back on. repeat, did not go into protect mode because light was still green.

sorry for the big wall of text, just really hoping its something simple like grounding, and not my amp itself.

as far as grounding, the ground wire is attached to a bolt underneath my rear speaker deck. I did not install the amp myself so i dont know if they sanded the surface but the grounding looks alright to *me*.

haaaalp :p
