8004?

they are good amps, the outside getting hot means they are doing their job shedding heat from the inside, maybe if you wanted to add a computer fan to it

yeah but after a while of playing it goes into thermal and at mid volume i mean i dont even abuse the amp, but the thing is i want to upgrade so i can get some rainbow comps so what would you recomend lets say a budget of 150 to 250 maybe a little more it all depends
