[QUOTE="Superchevyman, post: 7747381, member: 638670"] your amp could be getting hot for a number of reasons being in a enclosed area with not enough ventilation wiring/grounding issues, pulling to much current through a small power wire etc... fusing from your battery to amp prevents damage to equipment and also so you do not end up with a fire in your car long story short i had a friend who did not fuse a 8gauge power wire in his truck amp got hot then wire got hot and then he had a fire which melted his carpet all the way down the driver side fire truck came and everything... you notice if your power wire gets hot/warm as well and what gauge wire are you running for power?
