Subs not working

[joeferry12]

My subs work great but after about 10 minutes or so my amp turns off. It’s not blowing a fuse but the power wire where it goes from the engine bay to the inside of the car needs wiggled before it hits again. What is the problem and solution?

Where do you have to wiggle the power cable? At the battery, ether end of the in line fuse, or right at the amp? If its at the amp check the set screw that holds the wire in the block. If that is tight then it could be the solder holding the block onto the amp circuit board and might just need the solder heated back up to re seat the pins.

If the its a bad connection at the fuse block or battery then replace that section of wire.

Could wiggling the power cable be turning the amp off and on rather than turning it back on?
Maybe the amp is overheating and wiggling the cable is resetting it.
