New member Username: ShadePost Number: 5 Registered: Nov-06 | well i thought i could use that kenwood, i know it's not the best but i was on a budget...so would that work? and if so how do i need to wire the subs in the box? amp says it is 2ohm stable but my alpines are dvc 4ohm. |

New member Username: ShadePost Number: 6 Registered: Nov-06 | well lemme rephrase what i wrote, the amp says it's 2ohm stable while being bridged but i found out the hard way and toasted the kenwood? lol unless u guys know of a safety feature, i ran it for about 2mins at a high volume, now the amp will not power up but the fuse is still good, and the one for the power wire is still good. any suggestions? u think bestbuy will take it back? haha |

New member Username: ShadePost Number: 7 Registered: Nov-06 | lol ok, any good excuses? that would be believable, cuz if i say i fried it, i doubt they'll wanna take it back, amps less then 3 weeks old btw. |
