At 1/2 power, your probably over driving the amp...Too much DK or maybe swing...

Best solution for problem would be glue the variable knob down in the HIGH position, and leave it! :wink: If you want to run a 900 watt amp, only at 400w's, then just get a 4-pill amp...with NO variable....(IMO)

Jesse hit it on the head. Tha's what I was going to suggest because I had the same issues with a silver streak that I had.

I hear you guys are saying to run the variable wide open yet Steve at East Coast told me run mine at 12 to 1 o'clock. What would be the reason for this?

Because i beleive if i remeber right the variable is mainly the DK so if you turn down the dk and let hear swing its probably where your going to get your best audio. swing gives a stronger carrier. IMO

That is the reason that i am runnin my amp at 12 0 clock is for swing which i thought was supposed to give you more audio but now i have my variable set at 3/4 and it does fine and turned back to 12 the other day and for some reason no squel duno what i did but it works fine but it's talkin great at 3/4 so i figure run it there for awhile thanks guys.
