[QUOTE="BassAddictJ, post: 1014291, member: 560415"] F**** it....run the amp at one ohm with the gains very moderate, remove the back cover of the amp (if possible) to allow the circuit board to breath better....get a fan to blow air onto the circuit board or across the top ( on the board would be better) and you should be ok 2 months i ran a rockford 601s (600x1@4ohm) at 1 ohm daily with the gains cranked high as HELL and abused it like a redheaded step child.......tell ya what those older fosgate amp (especially punch series) will take an ass whoppign before going into protect. had a fan on it to keep it cool and never went into protect, just got hot as hell.... if you keep your gains down and run on fan on it you'll be fine for daily drving at 1 ohm....if possible mount the amp somewhere within touching distance of your seat and just check the surface temperature every 20 min.... try it out and if the amp heats up too bad with all this done to it just keep turning the gain down until you find a happy medium......if that fails then go with another amp. but with that fosgate amp you have hope man good luck [/QUOTE]
