Well guys, looks like my pre outs are screwed up. I had problems with the amp overloading and accused my seller of sending me a bum amp, but today I tested the amp with a funky old pro logic reciever that has 2 pre outs and it worked fine. I tryed the 2 channels across all the amp channels and it's OK.
I never used the pres before, so it looks like I'll have to pay to get it fixed cause I'm well past the warranty period. At least that's what I think-I'll find out Monday when I can get the Outlaw guys on the phone.

Bummer
Eric
