    Hey guys so I installed a new 12 inch subwoofer and amp to my Prius C and everything is connected correctly and the sub works great, but If I turn it up to loud while driving, the entire audio shuts off until I restart the car... Any help?

    You might have a short in the system - the blue remote turn on wire on my car was shorted to the chassis of the radio, and when I turned the sound up, it cut out.

    It's to prevent you from being shot by someone that doesn't like loud music next to them!

    What ohms are the sub and what can the amp handle? Sounds like some protection circuit is shutting down the amp.
