Question

What is the reason behind the heating of amplifiers?

Answer 1

There are several different reasons that an amplifier will get hot and shut down. Four of the most common are: Blown/grounded speaker(s), poor power and/or ground connections, too low an impedance (load), or Gain/Punch Bass control settings too high.
If you have a speaker that is "blown" or is grounded to the chassis of the vehicle, the amplifier will still try to put power to it. When it does, it "sees" a condition that makes it get hot quickly and eventually shut down. Because our amplifiers can play into a direct short for longer periods of time than other amplifiers on the market (Rockford's proprietary technology called NOMAD), the problem may go unnoticed for some time before the amplifier shuts down completely to protect itself. When it does, it is a warning sign to check the trouble before continuing to use the amplifier. I hope the answer was helpful to you If it was please mark it as brainlist ❤️
