well this is a simple one, avoid Slattennas, like the Imax, or worse yet the A99

stop running c class and worse amps

ground your junk

stop over driving you amps... a 2sc2290 does about 60 watts PEP @ 12.5v, a mrf455 does about 60 PEP @ 12.5v, a 2sc2879 does around 100 PEP @ 12.5v. Upping the voltage to 13.8v will yield a 9-11% increase, over rated output, and yes the output increase is linear.

If your meter tells you that your 4 x 2sc2879 is putting out 900 PEP it is reading 500 watts of trash and at best 400 watts of actual power

Anything above the rated power output is not what you want, it's just trash out
