[QUOTE="HighSPLs, post: 19906, member: 542381"] IT sounds like you have a prolbem with the ohm load going to the amp. You said you had two subs wired in mono. If they are 4ohm subs that means you have a 2ohm load at the amp. If you have a 2ch amp bridged into mono then your amp would see half of 2ohms. That means you are down to 1ohm. I don't know any kenwood 2ch amp that is 1ohm stable. You need to wire your subs so that they are 8ohm when wired in mono. This would take care of your overheating prolbem. [/QUOTE]
