Hey guys,
Iv just bought a $1500 amp n sub combo from Joe our sponsor here, and iv been having problems with the amp cutting out if the sub starts to kick to hard (the gain is currently pretty much on 0 and the bass on my head unit is sitting on a wobbing 0) The Steg amp doesn't have a crossover Unit in it at the moment do you think that could be contributing to the problem? i know its not overheating as its cool as ice even after a 8hr drive.
any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like possible impedance issue or grounding..
Model Numbers would make it much easier..
