Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

I'm guessing it's drawing too much power from your electrical system causing it to shut down. Either get a bigger battery or use a capacitor for your sub. The capacitor would be the cheaper option, but it would also come down to what type of music you are listening too. -
Overloading your amp will cause it go into protection mode.Originally posted by passat08 View Post
Overloading can also mean that the ohm draw is too low for your amp to handle, which would be 'loud' or 'certain base kicks'.
Turn down the gain a little. Remember the gain is not a volume controller for your subwoofer.Comment

With a sealed sub, the acoustic loading should prevent the sort of excursion that would draw enough current to overload the amp (unless it's a crappy one with a claimed rating that's far higher than actual).
Or maybe thicker power and earth cablingOriginally posted by AALocksmiths View PostResident grumpy old fart
