Good guess. Yea the smart shoppers right not to far from me has sales.

and dont forget prime is entry level.grounds power yes.and make sure ur speaker connections arent frayed and connected well.a rub threw wire will cause resistance..ie heat...

just check simple things first, its almost always something simple that will cause issues with your setup. you know how to measure for voltage drops and own a DMM? it only takes seconds to do and can give you a great starting point of what needs to be worked on... because my guess is there is a slight vdrop on a connection or terminal somewhere.

I know how to check for voltage drop. My DMM just broke on me so i have to wait till i run across some money to pick another one up.

when you build your amp, if the amp will be enclosed, definitely add a fan. it will help a ton.

harbor freight is your friend, bud, 3 bucks will buy you a simple DMM that will get the job done, and is just as accurate as a 150 dollar fluke, with a few less features, of course.

That is- if you even have a Harbor Freight in your area.
