[QUOTE="stones, post: 1014604, member: 540734"] im almost positive its the heat but i guess ill find out tomorrow when i remount it. stones do you think it matters if i mount it to the back of the box or would the seat be better. I think it would be about the same. if there is something wrong and the ebay seller doesent give me the 90 day warrenty how much you think it would cost to get the amp fixed?? a rough guestimate would be nice. Geeze its tough to say, theres a cost to diagnose, then for the part and then for the labour to install, I'd guess 200 bucks max, I could be way off though. i mention the warranty cause i think they said i needed to have a shop wire the amp for the warranty. but seeing as how all the wire was already run there was no way i was gonna take it to the shop. Install reciepts can be ...forged [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sneaky.gif.7189749b3a3f769e8815b47e8ae87f88.gif[/IMG] , shhh anyway thanks for the replies oh and btw stones thanks for answering all my question its people like you that make this forum great. ive followed your replies in the past and it seems you know your stuff. I just stayed in a holiday inn express is all. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] oh yea one more thing. this may sound dumb but here goes. when i set my gains i unhooked the wires that go to the sub and hooked up just an old speaker wire i dont use anymore. is my amp seeing the right load when setting the gains this way?? im pretty sure its right but im kinda confused Do you mean you just read the voltage off the output terminals without a speaker connected?, thats ok to do when setting for a desired voltage output. I set mine to the desired voltage then reconnected the subs and tweaked it alittle after to fine tune. If you mean just the wire to the subs was different, it shouldn't change the impedance unless its extremely small wire like 20 gauge. ok i just got done remounting the amp. its now on the back of the box. ill let you know what happens tomorrow Cool, let us know how it turns out.
