[QUOTE="ibanender, post: 2112454, member: 555208"] He can prove it. How, because I personally have tested his vehicle! If you have the stereo on and you stop at a traffic light and your car shuts off after it idles funny, thats low voltage. The amp actually caught fire while the car was off and he wasn't in it. How do I know? It could be because I was on the phone with him when he got back to his car with tools to see why it quit playing. Thermal protection isn't active when the amp isn't turned on, and if you knew ANYTHING about those amps, you'd know they do have a thermal shut off and thermal monitoring because the fans will actually turn on to cool the amp when the remote wire has no power on it. Yes, thats right, the amps fans run to cool it BEFORE YOU TURN IT ON. Now that we've established that amp isn't a normal amp, can you think of more amps that just die instead of shutting off? I certainly can. USAmps wont shut off, they'll die, MA Audio wont shut off, they'll die. The sudden lack of voltage will make them shut off, the constant borderline voltage strains the power supply which is what dies. [/QUOTE]
