hi there dudes
i need some tips about how can we make our amps live longer with no problems ?
e.g :
1. type of ohms we use ?
2.hours of useage ?
3. connections ?
4. tweaking ?
5. type of amp (mono,5/4/2 channal )
and also what can burn the AC of the amp?
many thanx

that would depend on the amp. You generally want to follow the guidlines given by each individual amp....

There are several things we can do to protect our gear and make it last. BUY QUALITY GEAR!!!
Here are a few ideas:
1. Know and understand your owners/install manual information and follow its' recommendations to the letter
2. Have adequate ventilation/cooling for your amp(s)
3. Make sure you are running the proper ohms load for the amp ( per manual recommedations )
4. Know how to configure your subs for optimal power and amp efficiency ( AVOID RUNNING BELOW OHMS RATING OF THE AMP )
5. Have adequate voltage and current source for the amp to run efficiently
a. proper gage power and speaker wires
b. adequate power from ALT/BAT ( input watts )
c. Good grounds to all amps and BAT/Chassis
6. Avoid running the amp at high power over extended periods of time if it gets hot ( HEAT IS THE MAIN KILLER OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND CIRCUITS )
7. Limit use of bass boost feature ( HARD ON MOST SUBS )
8. Use proper gain settings ( KNOW THE HU VOLTAGE AVAILABLE AND SET GAINS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THAT VOLTAGE )
9. ? " what can burn the AC of the amp" ? I am not sure what you mean here... please explain I am confused???
What do you want to know about MONO and multi-channel amps? This can be a long topic, so a separate post might be advised. State your concerns and questions and we'll try to answer them as best we can.
