Alright well I have this 50W amp from a friend. 2 Channels use for cars (by the way it looks). I have sufficant power (12V using a ATX 300W PSU), but if I turn up the volume on the input up to much it cuts out, but the amp has been running for a while. It does the same thing if I turn up the balance too much to one channel (but Im only using 1 Channel)
The amp heats up pretty good no matter what the load. I assume to make it stop from cutting out is to cool it a bit. It just uses passive cooling.
It also isnt stable at time (I get static, poping..etc) I assume this is because of thermal run away. When the amp is cool or starting up its fine.
So is the answer to cool it off with a fan?
