[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 6102, member: 541271"] I definitely agree, running the amp at a 1-ohm load is not the way to go. If your protection light is coming on then that probably is from the amp "overheating". Which would probably explain why they told you the amp was blown. A possible fix is to get a cooling fan. Also, with running amps at such a low impedance, you also take a bigger risk at frying your voice coils, even though you may not be pushing peak power to your sub. But check your ground, make sure all your wires are secure! I would reccomend getting a bigger amp, if your amp can't pump out the power you need with a 2-ohm load. [/QUOTE]
