[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8705672, member: 679555"] Rockford products have a temperature cutoff in them, so long as it's not overheating that or burning your carpet it's fine. You being able to touch it doesn't really mean anything about the silicon inside. Silicon begins breaking down at about boiling temperature, so if you feel that it's extremely hot then that just means the heat sink chassis works well. The suggestions about putting it on something instead of carpet is a good idea. This flap you're talking about is at the base of the trunk lid near the hinge I assume. That should be held down with plastic tabs once you're done wiring under it. The amp can be placed on top of it and there shouldn't be much contact with the seat up. That's assuming it's what I'm talking about of course. [/QUOTE]
