OrionStang Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Took a little drive today and the damn thing keeps overheating. 25 minutes, not even full volume, and it turns off. Wait 10 minutes, it turns back on but goes back off in a few minutes. I know amps get warm in warm weather, but seriously, this is an expensive 4-channel I can't even play for half an hour? Its in the trunk and but I put a fan back there with it. I should be able to run this thing maxed out for more than 25 minutes at a time.

Skullz Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I ran into the same problem with a sundown 125.2 trying to go thermo nuke on me and finally said the hell with it and got something else. I don't know what to think anymore with newer amps and all the damn protections they have, either they work too damn well or they don't work at all.

skittlesRgood Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 is this the amp that you have multiple comp sets hooked up to one channel?

OrionStang Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 is this the amp that you have multiple comp sets hooked up to one channel? Only two comp sets. So each channel has a single crossover w/speakers hooked up. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Unless there's a problem with one or more of the crossovers in the components. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
