When I connect both of these inputs to my amp, thats when I can guarantee that my amp MOSFET will be fried in under a month. If I only connect one signal line from the RCA converter box then it will run fine indefinately. I also understand that the bass line is run in mono so this is not really a problem to connect only one line to the amp. Eventually though I plan on replacing the factory Bose speakers with Boston Acoustic speakers powered by another XTant amp I have. Regular signals though have a right and left channel. So I am concerned that I will fry that amp as well and it is now out of warranty unfortunately. So clearly I would like to know if this is going to happen. Sound Advice(aka Tweeter Inc.) have been doing stereo installations a long time so I can'y imagine them never having to deal with this problem before and finding a solution. I would like to find one though before I burn an out of warranty amp. Other alternatives though is getting another head unit and nixing the Bose system entirely
. Getting rid of the 6 disc in dash is going to be hard though.

I agree with you completely and I believe the crossovers are built into the amp. My amp is a 300.1 and I am pretty sure the subs are wired in parallel although I cant verify b/c its a sealed box with no plexi . I'm just sick and tired of having to take my amp back to Sound Advice and have them ship it off every so often b/c eventually this amp will be out of warranty too. But this is really pissing me off. :angry:

I still say something must be wrong from the install. I've had my system (intalled myself) for about 4 years now and never had a problem. It's not like Xtant is a cheap amplifier. You paid for good quality products and paid for a professional install, you should tell the shop to contact Xtant and figure it out.
