[QUOTE="Virindok, post: 5906928, member: 577022"] Hey, I've got an oldschool sony 4 channel amplifier that works great but after playing about 20-30 minutes gets extremely hot.... Anybody have any ideas on ways to cool it down? It was under my front passenger seat but I moved it out and onto the floor to make sure it wasn't the location making it overheat. It seems to be getting some airflow. Is there any kind of mods that can be done? Bigger heatsink? I also thought of possibly using some kind of thermal paste between the fets and sinks - like a CPU. Is this a bad or useless idea? Any other thoughts? Thanks. p.s. gains aren't cranked [/QUOTE]
