How hot is normal for the 7100 and the 950 to get. I realize that they will get pretty warm to the touch when being pushed but they get really warm (not quite hot) just sitting there when they are turned on. I am talking with no source playing. Any comments on this would be appreciated. Thanks

They shouldn't be getting hot when idle. Do you have adequate ventilation around them? Perhaps heat's building up during use but not dissipating when idle?

There is about 5 inches of room on top of the amp and nothing to the sides, front or back. It seems to have cooled down abit, or maybe my hands have developed callus's from touching it so frequently. Also my 950 just took a dump on me so I wonder if somehow that was or could have been a contributing factor. I must say though the customer service from outlaw is the best I have ever dealt with. I called them this morning about the 950 and received an email about 2 hours later saying a new one is in the mail.

That's really good news, and I'm glad to hear Outlaw was on top of the problem. In the long run, what makes you happy will make them happy.

I too just got the 950/7100 combo yesterday, and noticed that the 7100 was getting very hot. Mind, that I was running it through a pace, but it was too hot for my comfort. I too was getting calluses on my hand from keep touching the top of the amp. I have good cleanances on the front, sides, back and the top of the amp.

It's also *very* comforting to know that their customer service is the very top notch.

I like my Outlaws.
