So im just wondering if its normal for amps to get warm and kinda hot when running awhile. Now i say kinda cause i consider hot hot to like burn and u say ouch but kinda hot i mean like just slighty more than warm if u get what im saying

 
Yeah, it's pretty normal.

 

I used to have a Kenwood KAC-9105d...it had 2 vents and 1 cooling fan.

 

Ran it @ 1 ohm and kept cool all day. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Funny..I get the same reaction out of just about all of you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

 
Some amps run hotter than others. As said previously low voltage will do it and so will cranking the gain. It may not be a cause for alarm but start watching your voltage closely and make sure you've set your gain properly.

Additinally, no need to reference "max" anything as those specs are useless. Most of know how to look at specs for a given speaker, amp, HU, etc...

You don't need two amps. The speakers come with crossovers to help protect the tweeters.

Perhaps you changed something without mentioning it here? Maybe a loose turn on line? I dunno man...but we'll take it. Hopefully it keeps working. 👍
