Any photos of your install? If it's in the "normal" place, and you used a socket with a plug switch, I imagine imagine your switch ponds are touching the cap legs. That'd heat it up pretty good!

Ooooooohhhhh...  That might just be the problem.  I was actually having trouble getting everything to fit.  I bent them (the capacitors) back around as I've noticed lots of people have done in the past, but it's a strong possibility that they're butting heads with the jack.

Unfortunately, I don't have a way to take pics right now, but when I can, I shall.

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure that's not normal. I'm no electronics genius, but open it up and see if maybe you messed up the soldering somewhere.

I just installed an 1/8" prosound jack and noticed that after having the unit powered on for 5 or so minutes, the entire area surrounding the jack becomes quite warm.  Has anyone else had this happen?  Should I be concerned?  Is this normal?
