xplod amp and the over current light
I have the sony 760 watts pushing 2 type r's and when i turn it up, and hit a certain bass line in the song the amp will shut off? Now did i hook something up wrong or does the amp just suck?

From what everyone has told me they just suck. I have that same exact Amp for about 8 months now and ive had no problems yet, key word YET. I have it bridged going to a 10 inch Sony sub, with the gain set at about 75% full. So far when it hits it hasnt cut out.

Its the amp. I used to have one on a single 12 Type-R and couldnt run the sub in 2 ohm mode or the over current lite would come on. Do you have them wired at 2 or 4 ohm? If you have them run at 2 ohm, re-run it to 4. If you have it at 4, try 8, if that doesnt work, get a JBL 1200.1 for 275 bucks from ikesound.com. I blew my single type r 2 times in bout 10 minutes, so I upgraded to an Eclipse 12" and have no problems. I think it would be great on 2 of the type r's. They would ahve all the power they needed and then some. you could also get the JBL 600.1 if your worried about blowin subs.
