Whats wrong

Chris Griffith New member Username: Mu_forever Post Number: 7 Registered: Jul-04	Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 19:57 GMT i was trying out a new amp for my subs and at low volume they sounded good then when i turned it up, after about 30 sec the subs just stopped working completely. i looked at the amp and the protect light was not on so what caused this? btw i found out later they were running at the wrong ohms. they run at 2 when bridged but the amp runs at 4.(the guy told me wrong specs about the amp)
