Need some troubleshooting advice

[02BlackOnBlackSS 1]

Ok, heres the deal. I have my Orion 4004 underneath my 2500D and it gets hot. How hot? Very hot. Hot enough to burn your hand. Hot enough to send it into protection after listening to it for 30 minutes. The components are bridged on it at 4 ohms. Many people have told me that it shouldn't be getting this hot. I think tomorrow I'm going to rewire it to only use 2 channels which will suck as far as power goes. I may also try to throw my planet audio vx3002 on it and see if it does the same thing. I have heard some things about orions not liking high input voltage but the gains are set about halfway.

One other thing I am having problems with is at higher volumes (30/40) my tweeters cut off. I will be listening to something with a lot of tweeter in the music (rock) and it will cut off after a minute or so, but when I am listening to bass test type music it doesn't do it. Also, they aren't sounding like I expected. I have been trying to eq them to death and nothing is getting them to sound satisfactory. I guess the next step will be to throw the eqt's on them and get on an rta. Something just isn't right though. I was expecting them to sound like my klipsch towers and they don't even come close. They hardly have any midbass for a 3 way set w/ a dedicated midbass. I have them crossed over at 80 hz and it isn't working very well for me.

Can anybody help me?

If I left anything out just let me know.

have you found a solution out?

I swapped the 4004 for my planet audio and that fixed it. I am sending the amp in soon.

maybe it was just a defect in the amp from the factory and they will fix it under warrenty
