i have a kenwood kac-7204 1000 watt amp with 2 rockford 10" p2's.

at 4ohms it runs 170rms x 2 and at 2ohms it runs 250rms.

i would like to get it to run on 2 ohms so i can have the speakers running at what they are rated for. but i have two problems.

one is the fact that after so long, and depending on the volume it doesnt take long sometimes... my amp will shut off. it wont shut off completely. the red power light still stays on. but the blue light that indicates if my subs are on and off shuts down and no bass! whats the deal?!?!

also i went to bridge the wires so i could get two ohms and blew a fews the second i tried to turn it up. so what am i to do? could i not be getting enough power? i have 4 gauge power wire and ground wire if i remember correctly. i have a 95 ford ranger and even with this small setup, if turned up i see my battery gauge dancin like mc hammer! which sucks because now i dont think i can put in an amp to my speakers so where do i start? i plan on going to mcor's shop soon to get the big three upgrade.
