Amp cuts out

[SWE11L]

Hi guys, did a search and couldn't find anything, and I hope no one minds that the issue is with my Verada not my Berlina!
Anyway my amp runs the front stock speakers, Kenwood 600w. Now there is no consistency to this , the speakers will just cut out, and randomly come back on then cut out again. Im pretty sure when it happens the amp loses power. I've checked the wiring and everything seems fine. Could it be something to do with the battery? Cheers for any help.

how hot does the amp get could be cutting out because of heat

Doesn't get very hot. Tried out 3 different amps an still does it. Forgot to mention it happens at any volume, not just when up loud.

are you sure its not the remote wire? if 3 different amps are doing it it could be that ... i once had a rca that was shorting out that was faulting the amp and making it cut out... could be something like this?

Remote wire is fixed tight on with ends but could it be a problem under the insulation with it? It didn't have any exposed wire when I checked it...

might be, did you pull it during install? also might pay to check your RCA's to make sure that their not shorting... i had a similar problem with RCA's shorting, and also check your speaker connection wires (Output wires) as a short between them could send your amp into protect mode

Cheers man. Looks like Im pulling the back seat out this week an checking it all again.

if you have any electrical test tools like an insulation tester, you can check your wires to see if they are damaged

I've had the same problem, are you using agu fuses? Even though the fuse looks fine, it could still be giving you grief. I checked mine with a multimeter (put both ends of the multimeter on the fuse holder, not the actual fuse it self) and it showed an open circuit so I replaced it and it hasn't happened at all since the last 6 months ago when I replaced it. Even if it doesn't show an open circuit, try a different fuse just to see If it is the problem. Hope this helps.
