[QUOTE="wolfey, post: 249239, member: 544404"] Harmonic distortion slowly blowing your speakers?? i think thats called "clipping". I could get a little amp that has 100 percent harmonic distortion at 10wrms and it wont blow a pair of 50 watt rms speakers if i run it all day.. Try getting an amp if you want pleanty of power for speakers.. that might also be some of your overheating problems.. my alpine seems to get real hot also but its never gone into protect mode or anything.. and never noticed any abnormal distortion.. it puts out a hell of a lot of power though for a headunit, so i havent bothered installing an external amp in my new car.. The only thing i dont like about my headunit are the weak preouts.. i'm kinda disgusted to be honest.. i have them set to 15, my gains half way up, and i have to lower the crossover -5 db up front and - 6 in the rear for the bass to mix well.. and theres nothing wrong with my sub or amp (revo and brahma running at 4ohms)..
