i have the exact same amp. Does yours ever get hot? i have mine wire in 1ohm and it jus overheated...... i was listening to the stereo with the volume turned down and heard a pop,the amp started smoking out of the sides. i quickly turned the deck off and took the face off the deck. i put my hand on the amp and it was super hot. the fuse didnt blow and the power light was still on AFTER I TOOK THE FACEPLATE OFF THE DECK!!!! I bought the amp new at stereo shop 3 weeks ago and it's been working fine. Have you heard of anyone or had any issues with your amp??? Thanks in advance for your input.
