[QUOTE="TeenWolf, post: 1007326, member: 561987"] Well, to me, that doesn't sound like normal operation. As for ventilation...I was wondering if you had it poked underneath a seat or somwhere else that would impede the heat from dissipating. This could be the culprit. If so, try installing an external fan to aid in ventilation. Another problem could be ohms. Are your subs wired to present a load that makes your amp stable? For example, if your subs are wired for 2 ohms and your amp is rated for 4 ohms, then this will cause your amp to overheat. Maybe some of the experts here could shed some light. [/QUOTE]
