[QUOTE="adam71, post: 991799, member: 549079"] Yes, this is correct. You can have a power cable that is too small that will have too much resistance and starve your amp but it would be really really hard to have too big of a power cable for an amp. Unless you got ridiculous with some 3/O or something to a small 2 channel amp but even then the only problem you would have is connecting that HUGE wire to that little bitty amp. As far as the amp goes: sounds like a bad amp to me. If its going into protection with a 2 ohm load and its supposed to be able to handle a 2 ohm load with no problem then the amp is NOT functioning as designed. Take it back if you can. Oh and one more thing like others have pointed out......if your electrical system is weak and can't keep up with the amps demands it will also cause it to go into protection. [/QUOTE]
