When i turn the power up the amp cuts off and flashes about 4 times then starts working again. According to the amp manual it is an over current warning. Anybody have any idea why this is happening and what i can do to stop it????? also is there a way for me to have my 2 ohm dual sub running at 1ohm so i can get the more power? thanks |
