Hey guys, I have some POS Wal Mart brand (VR3) 5 channel amp.....I was only running 1 channel of it(the subwoofer one) but had 3 subs hooked up in parallel. This was producing a 1.3 ohms load to the amp. Would this have blown it out, because the protection light is on and I can not get it to shut off.

Thanks

Most likely that did blow it, I cant imagine the VR amps walmart sells being stable under 2 ohms.

hey, all you have to do is take off the 12 volt line to the amp and then put it back on! it will reset the amp
