[QUOTE="Frankensuby, post: 3484036, member: 569869"] Does the sub turn off, or does the HU turn off? If it is the sub turning off, check your grounds. A lack of proper grounds would throw it into protect. Also, although I HIGHLY doubt it, a large voltage drop causes protect, but 250RMS is nothing to cause a Voltage drop like that. If it is the HU shutting off, then it is the internal amplifier going into protect. I had an older Sony X-Plod HU in my old car,and it reacted the same way to higher volumes. Your best bet is to turn off all EQ's such as the Super bass EQ and bass boost, as that causes it to turn off ther most. use an external booster such as the Bass boost on your amp if needbe, but watchout for clipping. This bought me a few more volume settings on the speakers. To be honest, the Hu is cheap, but aside from the fact of it shutting off, I never had any complaints for the sound quality. it wasn't spectacular, but it next to no 'floor' noise, and the SSO option was neat on my Pioneer speakers, made them real crisp and clear.
