as vibe are quiet an exspensive amp they come with a safety device. when the amp gets too hot, or theres a power surge then the amp protects itself and switches off.

so, you either have had the amp pushing full power for ages or theres a loose connection somewhere. check your neg connection, clean the surface that the neg is connected too, also have you had the head unit out, it could be the remote switch from there causing the amp to think you keep switching it off.

have a look at these. hope it helps

yea took the remote off and put it back on scraped the earthing point to bare metal so i aint got a clue wot it could be

how about the wires going into the amp. are they touching? are you playing the speakers for hours on end, is the amp covered causing it to over heat. have you dropped the amp lately, is the sub box loose in the boot of your car and could have damaged the amp.

is your alternator in good nick, if its on the blink it could be sending surges to the battery and in turn down the power cable to your amp (fuse should blow at this point).
have you got the right fuse connected to the battery?

(running out of ideas myself now)
