Default 6x9's Gone Quiet

Last night i fitted a 4 channel FLI Amp in the boot and wired my 6x9's (FLI) to it

At first everything was great - good bass coming from back of car sound quality great..... Then after about 10 minutes my 6x9s seemed to cut out

I pulled over and found sound was still coming from my 6x9s just no bass through them i just thought i must of blown them but when i got back in this morning to go to work the bass was there again but only for about 2 minutes this time and then my music just came out at normal level

Do you think iv blown my speakers or is it showing signs of loose connection somewhere?

TIA

Ian

Could it be overheating? Check the amps,wires and speaker wires to see if they are getting hot. Make and break all of the connections.

Could be a dodgy connection or a dodgy amp. I don't think it's the speakers. Check all wiring including behind the head unit. Also make sure that there isn't anything metal behind the head unit in the dash touching it.
