AQ amp is doing fine unless i overcrank it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. If i dont drive it to full tilt it even stays nice and cool. Regardless, my Skar 1500.1s are waiting in the nearby shop for me to get tomorrow, so my AQ is almost retired. She clamped 1600 watts before she goes into danger zone

One thing that makes me wonder is how it ran at .7 daily with no issues, not even hot amp. yet .5 is like "hell no"

the lower you go the less efficient the amp is and the more you inadequate electrical system is taxed.

Amp will run all day long at .5 on decent electrical...

It goes into protect because for a long enough time you are dropping below volatage. You need to upgrade your electrical for your setup, even with the skr's.
