    the protection lights come on when your source (speakers, subs, etc...) require alot more power than what your amps can provide, thus when they suck out as much power as they need the amp decides to cut out because it cant handle the work load required. i.e. im waiting for a monoblock to be delievered so for temporary bass i have my subs running of my front stage amp, cause i had the subs running on the rear channel i turned the gain up and i got a power cut.

    LOL the moral to the story is you have to look at the power required for what your doing and match that with an amp to power the job, if you buy a cheap ass amp you wont get much power at all, they are rated about 3times below what they say on the box... its actually more fun to watch them blow up

    good luck with it dude, hope the new amp (when you get it) makes you enjoy spending hte money in the right places.

    Boss 1000w BA1000 = 4 x 75WRMS (from memory)
    Pioneer 1000w GMD510 = 1 X 500WRMS @ 2 ohm, 1 x 300WRMS @ 4 ohm

    But cheaper brands also sometimes overrate their RMS wattage as well...
    You also need to consider the class of the amp (eg. a class D monoblock is much more efficient and will produce better sound for subs than an equivalent 2ch)
