[QUOTE="stones, post: 1013889, member: 540734"] if i get a couple of fans how hard is it to wire them?? what power wire would you suggest i tap into?? You need a relay so the fans turn off and on with the HU, I wire them into the distro block for power, you could just piggyback it onto the power input for the amp if you don't have a distro block (little ghetto). its weird cause i feel like if i lived up north i would not have any problems. i hope theres nothing wrong with the amp. Me too. also someone else suggested mounting the amp on the back of my rear seat. btw when im driving i fold the seat down. If everything is right you shouldn't need to fold down the seat for proper cooling, it will help though, and of course allow for more bass. ill remount it tomorrow and see if it helps. also when this happended my car was parked in a big parking lot with no shade. and when i went to break before i even turned the car on the amp was pretty warm to the touch. Ya, its in a pretty hot area, the sheet metal of the trunk lid will get pretty hot from the sun and radiate heat inside the trunk especially to the closely mounted amp. is there anyway the amp could be tested somehow?? maybe at a shop Most shops will only check to see if it turns on, which it does so that complicates thing a little, you would need a proper power supply, a resistor, sine waves, and a thermometer to fully test to see if the amp is within spec. I have my fingers crossed for ya hoping its just the heat. [/QUOTE]
