Junior Russell Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 all right so i was just curios if there was a way to safely keep the amp from over heating when wired at lower ohms currently my 4 ohm stable amp is wired at 8 ohms on the subs and 2 ohms for the mids and highs and have had no problems with it heating up like it used to but im wanting to rewire to 2 ohms on the subs but im afraid of it over heating to much and it dying on me before i can get my new amp and subs http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared )
Guest Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 kenwoods are notorious for heating up since they're inefficient as fuck. add fans. thats how you cool amps down. are you talking about that 4 channel you have? i dont know why you would want to wire it down to 2 ohms bridged when its not rated for that impedance.
KickerKid58 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 Don't wire a 4ohm stable amp to 2 ohms, easy. Cmon now. I would assume it would go into protect before you even get the chance to worry about overheating too. edit(anyone else know if this is true?) Just be patient and wait till ya get a new amp.

Not worth frying your shit. good point just so tired of only hearing 30w on the subs but then again it is going to be a big jump going from 30w (out of a possible 60w) on 2 12's to 1500w on 2 15's http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared )
