[QUOTE="gamehawk55, post: 8137387, member: 645990"] Hey guys, So I've got 2 Sundown SA-8v2 D2's wired at 2ohm running off an RF T2500-1BDCP. Before you go saying "your overpowering them". The amp is tuned to put out aprox. 1000W at my desired "loud" volume. So they should be getting around the perfect amount of power for running 2 of them. That being said, after running them fairly hard for 10-20 minutes or so the dust caps are getting pretty warm/hot. But no odd smells are coming from the port or in the car while playing, so I have to assume the VC's are not burning. But still kinda worrying. Also the amps heatsink becomes EXTREMELY hot (too hot to touch for more than 5 seconds), but weirdly enough it's only hot on the one side of the amp and the other side is just "warm". Everything as far as I can tell is wired well (0awg to the Power+GND) and I have a good solid ground bolted to the chassis of the car. Voltage remains fairly strong (usually above 12.5-13v). I should also mention everything is being wired through a Knuconceptz KNF-60 Power+Ground Distro block. 0AWG SHOK wire IN and 0AWG KNU wire out to the T2500 and 4AWG KNU out to my AQ 200.2. Does anybody else here run these particular subs or this amp and can confirm this is normal operation? Also the "output" signal on the amp is able to hit the "red line" still when tuned for only 1000W. This seems rather odd to me considering that's not even 1/3rd the power this amp is capable of putting out. Or is this amp somehow intuitive and can determine what the speakers attached to it are approx. capable of and adjust the "output" LED's accordingly? Seems a little far fetched but not impossible. Anyways, sorry for the long winded schpeal but if anyone has any info pertaining to either of my listed concerns that would be awesome thanks. [/QUOTE]
