Is my amp fooked?
Ive got an amp and sub that I inherited in a van that I have. The amp keeps switching itself off. Is it broken?
The gain is set as it should be and after a few minutes it will turn itself off. If I turn the head unit off and then on again the sub and amp will work for a couple of mins then it will turn off again.
I think the amp is a Jetsound 200w max wattage, the sub is 250 RMS JBL I think, it may be a 200 watt RMS, not too sure TBH. The amp is a bridgeable 2 channel, I have it bridged for one sub.
I even tried turning the gain right down to see if it made any difference, that didn't work either. I did work fine before, it was running fine for months and months.
Hope this makes sense to you all.

It was all working fine not so long ago. Connections are all good and the HU is new, a Kenwood so it should be fine, you'd have thought so anyway.
I will however double double check all the connections.
It seems to turn off once it has warmed up a bit. From cold it'll work fine but after about 10 mins it'll switch off and then it will switch off every time as decribed in my first post.
