When an amp sees an ohm load of say, 0.5 Ohms, does it overheat / go into protect from trying to push too much power?
I'm asking because I'm considering buying a used BTL n2 for my Aq2200d, the only catch is that it's a Dual 1 ohm sub. So I'd have to run on .5. I'm thinking that if I turn the gain down enough (to only push like 2k), that the amp won't heat up or blow. Is this true? Or would it still heat up from the load itself? I hope that makes sense.
