[QUOTE="Rashaddd, post: 4520447, member: 592162"] I have a visonik amp that says its stable at 2 ohms, and now have 3x- single 4 ohm subs hooked up to it making it run at 1.33 ohms. It gets pretty hot and then goes into protection after about an hour of using it, and then in about 10 minutes its good to go again for another half hour or so (I've only repeated this sequence once so far). I'm wondering if its particularly bad for the amp to be going into protect mode because of over-heating, or is it not that big of a deal for it to protect every once in a while (its not like I'm using it long enough to overheat it all the time). Also, its being powered by only 8 gauge wire putting out around 800 rms (at 1.33 ohms) and clips at half gain. On 2 ohms it doesn't clip (or inaudibly) even at max gain and puts out about 1000rms. Would I likely get a significant increase in performance from upgrading to some 4 gauge wire? Thanks for any help [/QUOTE]
