I have a 2 channel nitro amp 2000watts amp and it always gets hot after 10min. it's been hooked it up to several cars and it's the only amp that gives trouble every other amp works fine?

Answer 1

If it's running so hot you can't touch it, in most cases it will be due to either the way the speakers are hooked up or the impedence of the speakers. You can incresse the resistance to the amp to have it run cooler by connecting speakers in series or getting speakers with a higher ohm rating. The lower the resistance (2 ohm, 4 ohm, 8 ohm) the more current flows though the amp making it hotter. Remember if you hook multiple speakers in parallel it will cut the resistance in half. So if you connect speakers that are 4 ohm to the same channel you are running at 2 ohm. Check your amp's ratings.
