If the subwoofer should shut down, reduce the volume setting and shut the subwoofer off until it cools down. The time the subwoofer takes to
cool down depends on the ambient room temperature, but typically at least 10 minutes are required for the subwoofer to cool down and
recover from the thermal shutdown. 

Also, plug the unit into a different wall socket. overloaded sockets or damaged home wiring circuits can cause power voltage drops while the
subwoofer is drawing high power levels. This condition can result in the subwoofer shutting down intermittently.
