rockford fosgate heats up quickly

[rockhard]

as it says , its the 200a4 model.im currently running 2 cheap subs rated at 250w rms. ive decided to get 2 ps's . but it concerns me that the amp heats up very quickly. it neva switched off yet,but it heats up like hell. i think i can fry eggs on it!! will this b a problem wen i get p2's? i also hav a 15a2 and it deosnt heat up like the 200a4. the 150a2 pushes those subs quiet well keeping in mind its a small amp. y does the 200a4 heat up so quickly? no matter wot it is driving? is this a flaw? on rf website they say that it was 'designed' like that. wtf???

In the RF manual it states that these amps run HOT. This is normal, or so they say. Just make sure it has sufficient air and it should be fine. My 400.4 runs really hot too.

i just sold two 12" p2's in a box... the 2 12W0's i had before sounded better than them. I just replaced everything with a 12W7.

How much are you getting the P2's for? I sold 2 12's in a box for $ 100 yesterday.
