[QUOTE="dB-r, post: 6886562, member: 574699"] Sounds like it has a problem. Electrical doesn't sound that bad, especially if he is running it at 2 ohms. There are some caps on the input board that could be going bad, also, if it's the older model 3000D (stock Zenon board with no updates) then it has no standoffs in the center of the board to minimize board flex and could have a broken leg or two or three on some of the rectifier diodes, they are right in the center of the amp where it flexes the most, 2 on each side. Sounds like you should send it in for service before it smokes up on you. It could be other things also, like a transformer winding shorting out, or some problem with the install like RCA cables, bad RCA shield in head unit or elsewhere in system etc. [/QUOTE]
