ok i got 2 12 alpine type e's and some rather little swiss audio amp. i previously had 2 12 jl audio w0's and had no problems with my system but when i switched the subs i cant turn it up too loud or my amp will go into some protection mode. any suggestions?
try unbrdging it. this also happend to my guy when he had his kenwood amp in....the tech said they cant be bridged...which i think is bs.. but yea try it...
Those subwoofers are 4 OHM SVC. The amp's spec is: 75 watts x 2 @ 4 ohms stereo...12O watts x 2 @ 2 ohms stereo...150 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms mono.
If you are bridging the amp, and wiring the subs in //, the amp is seeing a 2 OHM load mono. That is too low for the amp. You will have to unbridge it, and put 1 sub per channel.
