I've had this amp since around october and i've loved it. It has never overheated or clipped on me when i turn it loud. I had it hooked up to a W3 and it sounded awesome. These amps get a bad amp but I must have gotten a good one because it has never gone into protection mode. I've played it at high volumes for more than an hour and it only gets luke warm.
I'm sellin mine if you want it, sell it to you cheap, Private Message me if ur interested, also still has more then 5 months Circuit City Warranty on it.
