Default What gives 😬

Was listening to my stereo today when I noticed one of the speakers "popping". I immediately turned it down, hooked up my oscilloscope, and the amp is barely putting out 20v beforehand clipping. Using a -5db test tone, amp is a 1200.4 4ohm.

Did something inside the amp die?

That issue is typical with those amps.(1200.4 & 2400.4)

I quit using those 2 amps listed above more than 2 years ago because of that reason

Mmats LSX1400.4 for the win. Cleaner power and for me, indestructible.
