[QUOTE="GhettoBlaster, post: 7463651, member: 636113"] I have a RF R500-1 amp powering two RF P2D210 subs (500W RMS amp powering 2-300W subs). Subs are DVC and are wired in parallel at 4 ohm's each for 2 ohm's total. Amp is supposed to be 2 ohm stable. After a while of listening rap music or any music with lots of bass, amp goes into protect mode and is hot enough I can only put my hand on it for a couple seconds. I got my multimeter out this morning. With the car running and playing a song with lots of bass at semi loud level, the volts at the amp never drop below 14.25V so I don't think I'm in a low volt/hi current condition. I tried to test the ohms at the amp and the meter fluctuates between 0 and 6 ohms. Don't know if I'm testing the ohms wrong or the meter isn't working properly, although it does seem to be testing the volts just fine. Any suggestions....please help!!!!! [/QUOTE]
