[QUOTE="enorfrog, post: 422036, member: 547836"] a little food for thought... what size power wire are you running to the amp? what is the length of the power wire? Amps now days have good power handling, but they need a good feed of power. I had a friend who put in his own amp. He ran a 18gauge wire off the stereo power lead to the amp. His amp was so hot you could not touch it...not to mention the sound was crap. He didn't know any better. We rewired the entire system. The amp ran much cooler and the sound quality was there. You could also look at using a cap to help keep available power on reserve. The cap helps feed the amp when you have big current draws (big bass hitting notes) [/QUOTE]
