[QUOTE="BnGRacing, post: 7512654, member: 557400"] I told you those Cadence amps are garbage. What you're probably experiencing is the bogus current limiting circuitry in the amp trying to protect itself from letting the smoke out. Running at 1ohm IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA. Your amp will not last long and you won't sound better, it's always a lose-lose unless you listen to sine waves. I don't care what it says on the manufacturer's website or what stickers are one the box; 1ohm is bad news. It's hard on the transformers and a $200 Chinese made 1kW amp isn't exactly the most robust or finely engineered piece of electronics now is it? Return & exchange that amp for a non-fleamarket grade 3-500w amp like this; [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p-126-gt-22-boston-acoustics-2-ch-390-watt-amplifier.aspx"]WoofersEtc.com - GT-22 - Boston Acoustics 2 Ch. 390 Watt Amplifier[/URL] Despite the specs, or in spite of them depending on your POV, that amp will pound the hell out of nearly anything. Very special amp IMO and I've always been shocked why more people didn't buy these. [/QUOTE]
