Hello guys...just a quick question. I have a president Madison with the 858 chip. The problem is that it is putting out too many watts. I blew my last amp with it...and I just ordered a new palomar 300 from copper which is coming on feb. 16th. Since this isnt a high drive amp, I need to know how to turn the radio back down to 4 watts. I believe it is running about 18 on AM right now. I'm sure it's an easy adjustment, and I could have found it somewhere else on the web. Thing is...I don't trust any other site besides copper.

Can you help please? I'd really hate to blow another amp.
thanks in advance....
