i was trying out a new amp for my subs and at low volume they sounded good then when i turned it up, after about 30 sec the subs just stopped working completely. i looked at the amp and the protect light was not on so what caused this? btw i found out later they were running at the wrong ohms. they run at 2 when bridged but the amp runs at 4.(the guy told me wrong specs about the amp) |

yeah, i checked the ground and fuses and both were fine. i hooked them up back to my old amp and they hit but not near as hard.
Thanks |

chances are if the amp is not tunrning on at all no power and now no protect light, the amp is most likely gone |

You MUST make the amp's impedance match the sub's, or have you done it allready? |
