Default Amp cutting out intermittently

What kind of numbers do I look for in my HU manual? The bass is hardly
there with the gains only at slightly over 1/2..The HU bass is at 5
out of 6..Things get hot with gains at 3/4..sigh..I guess I just have
to live with a cool amp and a lot less bass.

I've never need to run an amp with the gain at 3/4, but all of my HU's have
had high voltage preouts. If your HU has low voltage HU's then running it
at a higher gain setting will be ok. It just depends on your HU.

So is it generally safe to push them to around 3/4? I put them back
down to 1/2 each and the amp is much cooler. The bass is MUCH less
though..I don't wanna dick up the amp but I would like my music to
sound good too..Just a little more ok u think?

If they were way up (past 3/4) then that would certainly be a culprit.
Generally though, the amp ought not to thermal below that, and certainly
not below 1/2.

Another possibility is that your speakers are just plain worn out.
