From what I remember, the Outlaw amp simply couldn't get rid of heat fast enough when running at sustained high volumes with mostly 4 ohm speakers. In his case there was an "overtemp" light that came on (and everything was really hot ) so it was pretty clear what the problem was.

Does the Emotiva have enough idiot lights to indicate whether this is a temperature or current limit shutdown ? I would re-read the thread but I'm running at about 6 bps on dial-up right now (if I meant 6 Kbps I would have *said* 6 Kbps ) so I can't bear to go read the thread again, sorry.
