I have a Pyle Pro PT-2400 (i know, a piece of crap). I just use it for my home rig, but its the only one i got right now. Last night, didnt use it much through out the day, but it wont stop cutting in and out. I didnt have it on for mroe than 20 seconds and it just wouldnt stop. Any help would be great. thank you!

Did you double check all of your cables? That's the first thing I'd look at.

Are you using both channels? Sometimes, an amp will "click out" if you're only running 1 channel. Also, how many speakers are you using per side? (As in ohms)? Some amps won't let you drop below a certain Ohm level and will become unstable in those conditions. (i.e. some amps will only allow you to have a MINIMUM of an 8ohm load per side, so if you have a 4 ohm speaker on that side, you are running the amp below specs...or if you have 2 8ohm speakers on 1 side running parrallel, which drops the load to 4 ohms, you're still screwed.).

Know your equipment, IN AND OUT.
