the amp is 2 ohm stable, maybe he wired it at 0.5 ohms:S |

"the amp is 2 ohm stable, maybe he wired it at 0.5 ohms:S"
That would explain the protection light. To tell the truth I cant believe that amp will even turn on @ 0.5 ohms.
The only way to run this amp would be to parallel
the 2 subs @ 1 ohm then to run them in series. Or he can run them in series to get 4 ohms then parallel to 2 ohms. |
