Default Audiophile amp flashing "Lo".?

When I bought my truck it came with a amp and 2 10s, I know nothing about the amp other then its brand and its 800w. The other day I grabbed something out of my back seat and noticed the amp was flashing Lo on the gauge on the top. Seems to be working fine as I an tell. Anybody know why it would be doing this?

It's most likely voltage drop or clipping. Sometimes it looks like the light is flashing when it's actually the LEDs around it for power going dim as the bass hits

The amp actually reads out LO. It's not just a led

Haha I always say audiophile for some reason, everytime. It's on no matter the level. I tried flipping all the switches to see if it there was any change and there isn't. I'm stumped.

Maybe it means LO for Lowpass filter is on, which you would want for subs....

Here ya go this might help DIGITAL DC INPUT VOLTAGE: Audiobahn Intake Amplifiers feature an on-board cobalt blue digital volt meter which allows a quick assessment of your vehicle's charging voltage to the amplifier. During normal operation, the display should read between 11.5V and 14.4V. A LO or HI readout indicates a problem that requires attention.http://audiobahn.com/Audiobahn/features/amplifiers.html

Ok, so its telling me it isn't getting enough power? That's weird. I have a edge programmer and the battery voltage meter on that always shows right at 14. Is that the same voltage that should be getting to the amp too?
