Well good luck to you man. I hope you can figure out the funding and stuff to make it happen.

where did you acquire this "tone" that you were playing? i am not sure if you are aware, but most songs dont get past -4Db for the sub-notes that they play. if i play a 50 hz 0Db tone anywhere above 3/4 of my volume, my voltage quickly diminishes to about 12 volts flat, probably because at that point the amp is drawing massive amounts of current and killing my voltage. if it is the power supply that is blown, my guess is you playing a constant tone for 20 seconds without the proper electrical to back it up dropped the voltage QUICK. i have a 200a alt, 2 hc800's, and a deka 9a31 and if i clip over the 2k my amp is rated to do at 4ohm, yeah my voltage goes from 14.5 to 12 or sometimes even lower, depending on how long i play the tone.

hope this post helped

The tone was 50hz 0db, But i do have the electrical to back it up... Even if the voltage dropped, the amp has low voltage protect. There's no reason it should have blown the power supply...

You said you have stock batt and alt, not only that but you played a tone for 20 seconds with the volume @ 3/4 and gain @ 4/5 (give or take as you said). Low voltage and a heavily clipped signal will drive any electronic component into death. You'll just have to wait on SS for the verdict!

It is recommended when using a DMM to use a test tone that is 50hz @ -3Db or -4.5Db, turning the gain to achieve the desires VAC from the outputs. Running a 0Db tone for 20 seconds with the gain and volume where it was at I can guarantee was clipping your amp, heating it up and using a whole ton of current! Especially if you think you saw 50 VAC

Cmon do you really believe it puts out 1700 "decent" watts RMS? for 180 bucks? ><

Absolutely. I've seen DTRs on the oscope. Soundstream's products are CEA compliant. They won't clear them if the "1700RMS" is clipped. I DO NOT HAVE LOW VOLTAGE. Where did u guys get that? i have a 140 amp alternator, 0 awg big 3, and the battery is not deep cycle but it isn't stock. It has a much higher CCA. The voltage didn't drop at all..

**edit, like i said before, the amp was NEVER hot to the touch. Now i know that is not any type of accurate indication, but with what you guys are saying, if it was hot enough to blow the power supply or short some solder joints etc... You'd think the heat sink would be hot too.
