Re: Friends amp over heating
possible causes
1 - it's a Sony 2 - gain is too high 3 - impedence of the speaker it's running is too low Does it ever shut off and go into thermal protection or does it just get hot?

Re: Friends amp over heating
Ah, if it just got hot then it wouldn't really be a problem, some amps are built to run hot, but if it goes into protection because if it then something is wrong. Have him check those things I listed (except for #1, no need to check that
 ).

Re: Friends amp over heating
Or just tell him to save himself a non-sony amp and non-sony sub.
