I recently acquired one of these amps with the intention of using it for sub duty in a HT system. I live in a small condo and my sub is a 10" Peerless that never gets to play anywhere near it`s 200w rating so needless to say, the Peavey is waay overkill.
I found the fan, even at the lowest speed to be distracting. I disconnected it to see how the amp would react just idling, essentially what it would be doing even when watching a movie.
The amp is all original and has never been repaired and puts out a healthy 853.33 watts into a mono 8 ohm load at clipping, and it doesn't object to 3 ohm loading either as it does 912.6w mono into a 6 ohms.
With the fan unplugged and top cover removed, the left channel runs a little warmer than the right. Even after an hour, either heat sink can safely be touched but that doesn't sit quite right with my OCD
.
I`m assuming there is a difference in biasing between the two modules. Should that be reason for concern?
