voxigenboy Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 how high is the gain on your amp. sorry for the late reply, I checked the gain and it was about 75%. haven't really had a chance to mess with it much more yet, but I will soon.

voxigenboy Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 well, since I still have a warrenty on the amp I think ill just exchange it and see if it happens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxigenboy Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 alright i took it out and got it exchanged today. i complained about the issue to the salesman and he offered to let me get the PA880 instead... which is bizarre as that's a mono amp.... o_O regardless, i installed the new one, turned off bass/lows, and adjusted the the highs/gain to hopefully something that will be ok and so far driving for about 20 minutes the amp hasn't gotten crazy hot and haven't heard any weird distrotion yet.
