[QUOTE="mhyde71, post: 8720980, member: 581700"] so i have some update on this here and thx to those that responded. so here's the dealio when i hooked that amp up - (1st off these are used off craigslist, and from far away, had friend middle man them to me and i just got them in few weeks ago)....but when hooking up the first one, the one i initially posted about... i hooked it up to power - without turning the power off. this is on test bench with 50a power supply.... but/and/so there was a big snap of crackle of spark- i figured that happens lot when the caps are like fully discharged. so i continued, payed it no mind, kept power to it, and got warm, took infrared meter out ... it was 137f as you see in pick- and came here to get ppls feedback today i tried the 2nd amp this time i turned all power off, discharged the caps - or watched them discharge bc of the leds in the d-block but hooked it up, and turned it on no big crackle of spark this time... and the amp has now sat for 30 min and not warm at all. so i said maybe thats the deal- lets not hook up that 1st amp with power on... so i did it the normal person way...turned off power and no spark and amp didnt get hot really at all... lil warm at idle after 30 min or so... but not 137, more like 82f. the ambient temp was 55 or so So long story short... i think it had something to do with not turning power off when connecting power acc and ground. so i think it is all okay tomorrow if chance i will connect up subs and signal and see if it stays temps decent like thx guys [/QUOTE]
