take your screwdriver or drill and unscrew the screws holding the speaker to the box.....cant get any easer then that.....

I didn't mean to make it sound like I didn't understand the instructions, I simply ment that I hope that the solution is as simple as a loose wire

it could be 2 reasons this is happening. i've been through both.

1. you could be pulling more power than your alt is charging the battery. when this happened to me, my system quit working. i found out later when i parked my car that it wouldn't start later because my battery died. may not be the cause, but it is probable.

2. you talked about voice coils heating up. if you blow a voice coil in your sub, it will short circuit the amp, causing it to shut off briefly. it usually happens when you hit a real low note in the music you are listening to, making the sub hit hard causing the short. if you can listen to it for a while at a real low volume and it doesn't happen, then that would be your problem.

also make sure that the connections on the amp are secure themselves if the metal is touching plastic parts of your amp u will also get that smell because it is burning. but basically check for loose connections that is wat is causing it to go in and out....if it was in protect mode it would delay for a while rather than flicker in and out quickly ........how many watts are those subs.......??
