amp is getting hot

[bradl79 10+ year member]

I have an alpine mrp f300 and those should run to hot. I have a pair of rf t165 s and kicker tc104 hooked up and I set the gains properly with a multimeter to set the correct voltage for the amp. Now the amp is 50 RMS and the speakers are 80 RMS. I didn't think it would be that much of a difference.

But yes amps do run at hot temps but shouldn't be to hot to touch.

It was hot to the touch but not burning hot. Just felt hotter than usual. I think it just started happening. It never got that hot before. Idk it its BC its getting warmer outside. I have not had this during the summertime it was installed a few months ago. I don't have it indirect sunlight. Its on the back of my rear car seats in the trunk.
