[QUOTE="idiot, post: 721072, member: 550902"] Well, I readjusted the gains per your recommendation, and everything seems better. I’ll have to give it a longer drive tonight to really see, though. I also bumped the power up a bit, since Mike is now recommending 800-1200W on his forums, for various size enclosures. So I don’t think that a thermal problem should arise from the 900-1000W I’m sending it. Before I messed with anything, I tested the voltage at volume level 20 (when I had previously set the max at 26), and I was only seeing 13.6V. So that may very well have been my problem.
