I dunno bout that amp but when mine gets too hot it will cut it down 3dbs.

Also when everything is cold it runs alot more effeciently. As everything heats up effeciency goes down. Mine is quite noticably louder when cold.

not knowing the model number of the subs, kinda hard to know. Crunch is making better amps these days. LMK what model subs you have, and we'll look it up for you
