[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 533870, member: 556589"] Like the people before me.. check your ground. Make sure that you have it connected to bare metal (like the body of the car). Also, you deffinetly want to de-solder those connections. That's most of the problem right there. The amp was built for a bare wire connection, which keeps the OHM load steady. When you add a variable like solder into the mix, you lower the OHM load, which in turn increases the heat in the amplifier. If the amp is only rated say, to go down to 2 ohms, if you bring it down farther, to 1 ohm or less, the amp will either overheat and go into thermal, or blow the fuse if the ohm load is WAY too low. peace, John [/QUOTE]
