[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6963183, member: 549629"] My first thought was incorrect speaker wiring as well. But, he has a single 12W7, which is 3ohm SVC, so the only way to wire it wrong would be to wire it out of phase, which wont affect impedance. Incorrect phase positions can/will affect perceived speaker output, but not by the drastic amount the OP seems to be describing. And, the slash series of amplifiers have the same output anywhere from 1.5 ohms to 4 ohms, thanks to the r.i.p.s. design of the power supply. How would speaker impedance affect acoustical cancellation? I agree the amp could be the problem, and a simple swap with another one at the shop where he bought it would tell them that, but I still think the mostly likely place the problem lies is in the signal chain somewhere. High level outputs from the h/u (speaker wires), LOC being used, odd reaction to gain settings... these all point to it probably being a signal issue imho. [/QUOTE]
