Hello, I've been having a problem with my sound system lately. What happens is when I turn the volume up loud, my speakers will cut out and stop playing for about a second, but my sub's will still play, This is why I think the problem is with my 4Channel amp. which is an Alpine f200, I do belive. I just installed an Infinity component system, around a month ago, But the this just started last week, Any suggestions. Thanks Joel

 

Is it just the subs. You could be not be getting enough power for the volume you are playing. Possibly?

 

anyone else?

 

Check the ground.

Do these "tests" one at a time, so if one of them is the problem, you will know what the problem was. 94

if all that does not work, bring that amp somewhere to get tested. if it is the internal circuitry, scrap it, repair it or buy a new amp.
