[QUOTE="Shane Presley, post: 34054, member: 110"] Re: An amplifier getting hot due to spacing or clipping? Thanks Evan, yeah I was trying to pull the hot exhaust out of the truck, as opposed to forcing cooler air in ( I thought this would work against the fans built in to do this job)... I'll try the other way - forcing cooler air in. I am running the mid/high section bridged mono on the amp, so it should only be seeing about 6 ohms so I don't think it's getting near 2ohms. As for power, I had a 2 year old, 200amp single phase service to new 100 amp breaker (audio only) about 50 feet from my distro, which was in located in the truck, so about a 15 ft L14-30 away from this rack... no power loss (BTW the amp in question was top amp, in the center, bottom rack) [/QUOTE]
