Ok well I have a kicker 15 running off a 600 watt amp. Well the sub keeps cuttin in and out as I go down the road. What could be the problem? Someone told me instead of bridging it....to run like one from each of the two channels to the speaker. Should I do that?

sounds like ur ground wire to me.... check that and all other connections

Visit My Automotive & Tech Blog.
I'd guess that it's your ground as well. Let us know if that isn't the problem.

New Toyota project coming soon...
Is this a new problem or has it happened all along?

It sounds like the amp maybe overheating and going into thermal protection.
OK i put a bigger ground wire and everything but the damn think still keeps cuttin out...........why?

Check all your wiring. If it only happens while your driving then it sounds like wires are loosing contact. Also it might be a problem with your power supply gettin short. So your amp might be taking more than your battery and alt. can take.
From what little info I found about Urban Works the amps are not bridgeable. If you are bridging the 2 voicecoils to a 2ohm load that is probably the problem. Try one voicecoil to each channel and see if the problem stops.
Well I found the problem!

1. The remote was hooked to the cig lighter casue my other remote was hooked to my power antenna I dont have anymore!

2. The cig lighter had to much on it and it wasent putting out enough power to keep the amp on!

FIXED

1. Took the remote loose from the antenna wire

2. Ran it back to the rear and hooked it up to the amp and now I got some MAJOR BASSSSSSSSSSSS! LOL not really but, enough for me

THANKS FOR EVERYONES HELP
