Man this thread is still going? If your gonna rag chew on the amp, 2 things. It better have a fan from hell that can blow. 2 you better hope that has a better heatsink with very tight spacing. To help dissipate heat better. Not to mention lower DK to keep it happier. Those comp amps are made for 10 second key downs. Not 2-5 minute rag chewing contests. I got a axial fan that will keep it cool. Sounds like a turbine when turned on. Pulls 5 amps. Lol and yes it costs a lot more than a $3 computer fan that was stuck in it. Not knocking DaveMade. Those are some of the better built comp amps out there. But a person has to understand and know the limits for a certain piece of equipment.
