[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 34047, member: 211"] Re: An amplifier getting hot due to spacing or clipping? Contrary to what you may think, an amp may not produce maximum heat output at clip. In fact, more heat can be produced somewhere at mid level, since the transistors inside have to dissipate the heat instead of directing it to the speakers as it would at full power. Top amps tend to operate at a midrange level for longer periods than sub amps which vary from peak to idle. The PLX amps do tend to run fairly warm, so unless it's extremely hot, it may not be of any concern or not. [/QUOTE]
