Why does it cut off with a 1ohm load

The SKAR Audio SKv2-1500.1D may cut off with a 1-ohm load due to overheating, low voltage, or DC protection. The amplifier has a minimum working impedance of 1 ohm as a single unit, meaning it must have proper airflow and cooling to prevent thermal shutdown. It operates within a voltage range of 8.5 to 16 volts, so if the voltage drops below this range, it may shut down. Additionally, if over 4V DC enters the amplifier, it will trigger DC protection, requiring the RCA input to be checked and possibly replacing the +12V source unit.
1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations and thank you for purchasing Skar audio amplifiers, the logical choice in mobile audio amplification. Your amplifiers have been designed and engineered with the highest quality components and top of the line workmanship to help you reach the superior sound you are after.
