Last time im buying Skar amplifiers. Only put out 750watts @ .7 ohm and is starting to randomly jump into protect mode again AFTER being repaired.

Skar amplifiers are complete junk and i advise anybody against buying them

EDIT 10/13:

A cut in the speaker wire may or may not have attributed to this. It has stopped going into protect and running solid once again. My apologies to Skar for the butthurt

any proof thats its only putting out that power? kinda curious
Used a fluke clamp, 15.3 amps @ 49 volts

 
49 volts divided by 15.3 amps = rise to 3.2 ohms...........So you are getting 750 watts @ 3.2 ohms out of an amp rated at 500 watts @ 4 ohms........Other than the protection thing it sounds like its Under rated just a tad.........

My old audiopipe pushed out more power on the same rise. An amp should not be going into protection @ 3.2 ohms either way

I still need it until i get a good amp (looking for a SAZ-1500d) then i dont care where it goes

If anything im hoping to use it get some cash back from the 1500d purchase. ***** how i saved up for 'quality' and this quality is turning out to **** even more than cheap amps like the apsm 1500

don't screw someone else with that POS...take a Florida vacation and beat the shit out of that Kevin dude with it, or throw it in the trash where it belongs.

This would go a long way to alleviating the dimming issue, up to around 4000 watts. It can handle 100A continuous and up to 285A 7 second burst...

Well, there is always a bypass that can be McGuyvered. So next time you want to tackle that task, post it. We can help.

I had two Skar amps (4ch & a monoblock) go bad within a year. Post #2 is an excellent recommendation.
