[QUOTE="Fi_, post: 7724450, member: 637405"] Wait what?... if this is a Kicker Competition (comp) Single 4 Ohm then that would be a 4 ohm load, how the hell is it reading 2.2 ohms? That amplifier will only bridge @ 4 ohms so that's why you're protecting. What is the exact Subwoofer? I'm beggining to think it's a Dual 4 Ohm CVR if that's the case you need a new subwoofer to match the amplifier or a new amplifier to match the Subwoofer they ARE NOT compatible bridged... Either run the subwoofer off a SINGLE channel @ 2 ohms or don't do it at all, granted you'll only see about 100rms from that amplifier but it's better than nothing. It has NOTHING to do with how he is setting the amplifier, amp don't protect from being cranked up unless the voltage isn't adequate to run the amplifier or of course if it's overheating Some cheap, cheap brands like bottom bin MIGHT shut off due to clipping but I've maxed out cheap Sony XPLODS and never protected them even when warm. If it's INDEED a Dual 4 Ohm CVR get an Alpine MRP-500 to run it, perfect match through and through. [/QUOTE]
