[QUOTE="cleansoundzz, post: 6063950, member: 589711"] The amp is designed to get hot like that. It is called MEHSA which is actually a patented technology that RF has used for the last 8 years. While the amp gets hot on the outside the components stay much cooler. Literally all of the heat stays on the heatsink. I have a T400-2 in my 300zx and it has never cut off on me before. If it has never shut off because of overheating why worry about it. Yes the amp is 2 ohm bridged stable but you take a risk of losing a little of your damping factor and the output won't be much higher from 4 ohm bridged to 2 ohm bridged. For a class A/B amp the t400-2 has an efficiency of 75% which is really really good. Use good judgement when playing your sounds that long. 2 hrs is a lot. [/QUOTE]
