[QUOTE="stones, post: 1013850, member: 540734"] Amps cool themselves most efficiently when they are mounted vertically, if you try mounting the amp on the side of your box the amp will be able to get rid of more heat. Another point- In the hot summer sun the temperatures reach insane levels in your trunk, heat rises so the hottest area will be at the top of the trunk, by looking at your photo I notice that your amp is mounted right in that area. Try to mount the amp vertically on the back of the box, it will be able to cool itself properly there, if this does not work I would suspect that the amp may have a faulty component. [/QUOTE]
