[QUOTE="Sleezyk, post: 8488206, member: 669403"] So a while back I had a 1ohm stable mix amp that I wired to two alpine type a s subs. The ending load was 1 ohm but the amp acted like it was below and went into protect after a few min. So now I have a 1200w Rockford fosgate prime amp, I have two 12" p3 subs that are dual 4 ohm voice coils... I got the positives and negatives connected to where each sub is 2ohm... Then I got them connected to the monoblock which connects the ++ and -- so that the final load is 1ohm.. I have looked over many wireing diagrams and am certain I have the wireing correct and have even verified it with a meter... So why the hell da this amp also have issues? It goes into protect for a few seconds on big notes with volume high, and although I don't think is has went into thermal protect yet, it has gotten to 150f on one side of the amp where the mosfets are connected. I have checked my grounds and made sure it is bare metal... I have added an extra cd power battery to make sure it gets what it needs.. So... Wtf?! Plz help [/QUOTE]
