GlassWolf Gold Member Username: Glasswolf Wisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 9044 Registered: Dec-03	Posted on Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - 15:17 GMT if the amp is ony stable to 2 ohms, or 4 ohms bridged, etc.. you have it wired to a load lower than that, like 1 ohm.

Jack Silver Member Username: Jaackdeth United States Post Number: 459 Registered: Sep-04	Posted on Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - 14:30 GMT According to what I could find on that amp it is stable down to 1 ohm, nothing more said about specs!!
Matt M New member Username: Mister Alberta Canada Post Number: 8 Registered: Aug-05	Posted on Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - 14:32 GMT so you have no idea how to fix an over current problem then?
GlassWolf Gold Member Username: Glasswolf Wisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 9083 Registered: Dec-03	Posted on Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - 18:01 GMT amp is listed as 1 ohm stable which would be 2 ohms stable bridged. knowing it's a Sony though, that explains the overcurrent light. the amplifier failed. it needs to be serviced or replaced. typical failure with sony xplod amplifiers, and one reason everybody suggests avoiding anything from sony car audio.

Anything they make are always low grade quality. The only reason why people buy is cause of the name. They used to make some decent products in the past (70s - 80s). Now it's all made in China. Take a look at their PS2 systems too. When it first came out, it was assembled in Mexico and sold for $450.
