[QUOTE="TeoTorriatte, post: 4664215, member: 571999"] NO. That is an old myth... the only way to damage a sub is thermally or mechanically. In either case, you need to OVERpower it... [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/2ltlpwr.htm"]http://www.bcae1.com/2ltlpwr.htm[/URL] The only thing running lower power will do is give you less output... unless you run the amp into clipping. Could be any number of reasons... I'm not sure what kind of protection circuits the ZX amps have, but typically amps can go into protect mode from: overheating due to low impedance, short circuit, clipping, undercurrent. Make sure you have the sub's voice coils wired in series, and not in parallel. Also, is your electrical system stock? No... unless you are running into severe clipping. In which case you need to either get a dual 4-ohm L7, or get another dual 2-ohm and run a pair. [/QUOTE]
