Hi there,

Yes, I can tell you. No I won't. I don't mean that in any kind of a rude way, I just can't justify your car being destroyed by the resulting eletrical fire. ;-)

You didn't mention which safety feature you wanted to bypass on your Crossfire Vr1000D:

Short circuit protection.

Reverse current protection. (Not sure that the Crossfire Vr1000D has this in an effective form.)

Overheat (thermal overload) protection.

Over voltage protection.

Under voltage protection.

I will take a guess and say it is the over heat sensor you want to kill? If so, that is a really truly bad idea.

First the bad news: Crossfire Vr1000Ds don't have much in the way of built-in fans.

Now the good news: Crossfire Vr1000Ds are open heatsink amps that aren't confined inside a tin box with a couple of small crappy fans. :-)

The solution to the whole dilemma would be adding a cooling fan or 2 to your rig. Adding an amplifier cooling system will make all the difference in the world... unless the installer installed the amplifier somewhere truly stupid.

Let me know if I can help in any other way, or if it was one of the other sensors on your Crossfire Vr1000D amp that you wanted to get around.

Please also let me know why you wanted to do this, if you don't mind. (Unless it WAS the overtemp safety shutoff that you were wanting to get around. If so, please just note that in your feedback.)

Thanks and happy thumping!
