[QUOTE="Jason1004, post: 6795852, member: 619370"] Hey, I have a mbquart DSC-450 channel amp for the speakers and a mbquart 1500.1 to power my subs. The 4-channel is getting pretty hot and its concerning me, the 1500 hardly even heats up. If this makes any difference, the head unit gets pretty hot too. Im using knuconceptz wiring and the subs are jl w3s-4 if that makes any difference as well. I dont remember it getting so **** hot before, but it was cold as hell outside then. Im concerned about the heat and dont want to fry the amp, it never has shut off on its own yet. With my setup i have the speakers faded to the rear a few notches because it sounds better, because the fronts get too loud and distort. The guy that set up my stuff used an electronic device (sorry for being an idiot) to set the gains i believe. If i were to turn the gain down would this solve the heating problem? i mean , it gets hot within 15 minutes of playing to where you can barely touch it for more than a few seconds. the front speakers are infinity 4x6s and the backs are mbquart 6x9s so its nothing special to the point where i think it should be getting so **** hot. Someone please help this nub.
