    • An audio amplifier system is described herein, comprising: an amplifier adapted to amplify an audio signal and comprising an output enable/disable input, the amplifier further adapted to receive an output enable signal at the output enable/disable input that enables/disables an output of the amplifier; a Zobel network connected to the output of the audio amplifier and comprising a Zobel capacitor and a Zobel resistor arranged such that they form a high pass frequency filter function and wherein the Zobel network is adapted to be substantially resistive when a frequency of an audio signal output from the audio amplifier is within a first frequency range; a mirroring resistor connected in parallel to the Zobel resistor and adapted to mirror a power that is dissipated in the Zobel resistor, and wherein a printed circuit board upon which the mirroring resistor is located is adapted to conduct heat generated by the mirroring resistor; a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistor located in close proximity to the mirroring resistor to receive the conducted heat from the mirroring resistor and which is adapted to change its resistance in response to the transferred heat such that its resistance goes down as a temperature of the NTC resistor increases; and a circuit adapted to generate the output enable signal, wherein the circuit generates an output enable signal that enables the output of the amplifier when the temperature of the Zobel resistor is below a first temperature, and wherein the circuit generates an output enable signal that disables the output of the amplifier when the temperature of the Zobel resistor is substantially the same or above the first temperature.
