As far a plate amps go, I've used a LOT of Dayton products and I've been very happy with ALL of it except those SPA250 plate amps, so that's why I would avoid those. If you want to use a plate amp I've heard good things about the BASH 300 & 500 watt plate amps, but I've never used them myself. They are more money though and then you are in the price range of a Behringer PA amp that puts out a lot more power. When it comes to running at 8-ohm vs 2-ohms, I wouldn't stress about it. Take that SPA250 amp for example, assuming you could run it at 4-ohms for 252 watts vs 8-ohms for 156 watts I bet you could hardly tell the difference between the two, if you could tell a difference at all. It takes a BIG change in power to make a noticeable change in output. gotcha. i know a guy who has a Bash 300 he will sell me for cheap(like $30). He says it sometimes makes a motor boat sound at idle and thinks it might be a ground issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look over the board for anything that doesn't look right. I'd pay special attention to all the caps, could be a filtering cap has gone bad.
