Post Number: 3316 Registered: Mar-06 | It could be lack of airflow and the summer heat.... my amp gets hotter then sh1t and i dont even have the gain set correctly (its lower then the max output) and i never drop under 13.2V 140A alt. on a zx2500.1 try a fan to get some air circulation, im about to do the same. Check it on a cold night and see if its the same, my amp didnt get hot at all when i had it in the cargo area which has some circulation, and i had it running only on the stock batt at that time. |
