ok, there we go. Well, we have successfully found out it's not caused from improper wiring.

Sounds good to me! Does this lead me to believe I have a faulty amp?

unless u had a loose speaker connection... i would assume so...

However, can you cause your amp to shut off if u crank it to the max for just a few seconds?

I've messed around with several setups where the signal going into amp is clipped so bad that it causes the amp to go into protect and right before it does, it causes the sub(s) to play some odd oscillating tone.

RCA grounding problem in headunit is main problem with those type of setups.

If u got a Pioneer or Kenwood headunit, you may want to wait on exchanging your amp if u fall into this category...

Typical for Korean class D's if you REALLY get them into clipping. It is usually accompanied with noise from the low-pass coils.

Well I met with 98GMC today (very nice guy) and we bumped the system hard for just about 2 hours and the amp played just fine. I guess I'm just gonna wait till something blows and then look into something different. Thanks again for everyuones effort!
