Noobie stereo question of the day
I have a 700W blaupunkt VA2200 running a 300W(maybe 400, I don't really remember) digital audio 12" sub. I have a 1.5 farad cap(no clue what brand). The cap and amp are mounted on the back of the seats.
I was playing with the gain on the amp a little after driving around and listening to it for maybe 30 minutes. The gain was set a little under 1.0 Hz(i think it was hertz anyways.. lol). When I went to turn the gain up, I noticed the top of the amp was pretty hot. I could barely hold my hand on it, and if it were any hotter, it would have burned me. Is it normal for amps to get this hot?? Especially when the sub shouldn't be taxing it that much?(or so I thought?) |
