Finally got some time today to begin the install: 60s, 150, 350 and two qs8's. Running from a Harman Kardon avr 325. Its 7x50.

Didn't get to install the 8's, left my 8 ohm Infinitys up there for now.

Problem is that I don't get nearly the volume I had with the little speakers, and when I turn it up, the receiver shuts off. Its the same with every source. I thought the 325 would be sufficient to run this setup, which was confirmed on this board, by Axiom and by Harman Kardon.

Why would the protect mode kick in? The polarities have been checked and double checked. Speaker size set to large. Brent said there shouldn't be a problem; must be something with the receiver. All amps and features were working fine before this install.

Good thing I have some Emotiva stuff arriving! Yahoo!

Still, I'd like to know what's up, if anyone has ideas. I don't like that something isn't right (and prevents me from LOUD), even for a few days.
