Well, still trying some tests with speakers
& still not a lot of luck. I have contacted the Outlaws and have been doing a few different checks for Steve. I have disconnected all of my Studio v.3's & checked all wiring.

There are no shorts in any in wall wires. I have connected the fronts & the center with different wires to eliminate the in wall wires. I have been running the system at -05 db with the same material for the same period of time and have still encountered the amp dropping channels.

I have not had the circuit breaker trip again but have had the channels drop out at various times when moving around the amp's outputs. I have left the 950 set to 7 channel stereo throughout all of the testing.

With only 2 speakers playing at a time, it takes longer for the 770 to drop out compared to when all 7 channels are playing at -05 db. I played it at 00 db for a few minutes - cuts out very quickly. I have measured the top of the amp with an infrared
heat gun & it gets to about 160 degrees with any 2 channels running, above those respective channels.

It measures that temp. all across the top of the amplifier with all 7 channels playing at -05 db. I don't know if I have to run it with fans or what. The equip. rack it is in is adjacent to another room & open to the back with plenty of room above the amp.

Is there a way to post some pictures of my setup here? Maybe someone will spot something that could be causing this???
