SPANKYSPL Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 If it is the MA Audio HK4000D, I had (6) of these amps at one point and had to bypass the protection circuit or it would cut off under stress rather easily. What is your voltage at the time it cuts off ? Quote
Boon Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 I've heard they're very voltage hungry. Maybe all the bypassed protection circuits are why you see so many of these amps blown up Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
oldschool Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 those amps the protection cuts it off at 1 ohm because they only rate it at 2 ohm stable you have to bypass the protection to keep it from cutting off at 1 ohm any lower on a weak electrical and get ready to toast some marshmellows.

Chode69 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 whats your electrical system looking like...sounds like a voltage issue i had an amp do that to me before...such a stupid mistake...the last battery in the "chain" came disconnected from the rest and wasnt getting charged...it dropped down to 9 volts and the amp went into protect. make sure all your connections are tight and your electrical system is strong Quote NoFearX18 said: Nick will bang just about anything.....LMAO....pun intended On 4/13/2010 at 9:51 AM, meade916 said: i was like DAMN, Chode is hardcore! he makes james look like a friendly person LOL! trainman0978 said: I dont know who is worse with the buttholes Chode or Big P...

ty_houston Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 These are not rated to perform @ 1ohm, you need to have it modded to work below 2ohms, and you need a strong, strong electrical system for it to perform well, even with a strong electrical not a guarantee that it won't go up in smoke. I would burb @ 1ohm but I wouldn't run it daily at 1ohm, even if it was modded. It's sort of a high risk, low reward running it @ 1ohm, what you gain in watts is not worth what you give up in reliability.

Bigg Boy Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 bro you are going to smoke that amp! no doubt in my mind. Just stop, run the amp at 4 ohms, and upgrade you electrical!
