I've yet to see my car's voltage drop dramatically. Remember, this is just a proposed situation. Didn't happen. Just curious as to what this "mode" was.

does it heat up a good amount?

One last thing so I can get this straight in my mind. Protection mode is basically an amps "safety" net when something goes wrong.

It gets warm but not, HOLY SHIT WHERE'S THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER kind of hot.

yes, but if it keeps happening, it means something is wrong with your system.

Again you guys, remember, this is just a proposed situation. I've had my system installed for less than a day so no problems so far. I'm just asking about this because I hear about it all the time from my dumb ass friends who don't know what the hell they're doing. I wouldn't say it's impossible for me to make it go into protect mode, but at the current moment, I've got the amp's bass gain set fairly low so it's no where near full power/capacity, well, at least I think it isn't. In two weeks or so, I'll let you know if I experience any problems with it when I start pressing more bass through it. No problems so far. You can find my build topic in the Member Build forum under the title of 100% Kenwood Power. So far so good. Today was a good day. :D

EDIT: dammit I can't spell anymore.
