[QUOTE="SocialStealth, post: 5815596, member: 606051"] Well I tried setting the amp's gains @ 3/4 hu volume and i found: The amp did not shut off and go into protect mode The amp did not show clipping (it has a clipping led on it) Even at 100% gain it did not clip, however I think I could hear distortion after 75% gain so I put the gain at 70% So most likely, I think the hu was clipping @ 4/4 volume and sending the amp into protect mode. My next issue is... I have speakers in my front doors, rear deck; and I want to add speakers into the rear doors. The front speakers are 2 ohm the deck speakers are 4 ohm. The amp is made for 4 ohm speakers; and runs a little hotter with 2 ohm speakers. So I want to get 2 ohm rear door speakers and put their wires into the same amp terminal as the other front door 2 ohm speakers; right? That will create a 4 ohm load; but how much power will it send to the speakers? I figured I would put another pair of infinity references (handles 60 rms) into the rear doors. The amp can send 75 rms Will the speakers get about 37 rms each? Or because they're 2 ohms, will they draw more than 37 rms, even though they add up to be 4 ohm? [/QUOTE]
