Ya if your running a stupid low ohm load, like 1/2 ohm, that sucker is gonna get hot. But...OP did mention amp is hot before stereo is on.

Hot BEFORE the stereo is on?... does the remote wire always have current?

Sorry... that WAS a reach... but as others HAVE stated... check your grounds,etc... but if your at 2 ohms nominal at that amp and i'm assuming it's a 1 ohm stable mono amp... it is probably the source of your problems...

Sounds like the amp has an overly sensitive sensor, or is just programmed to go into protect at too low a temp

Thats' dead on... I shot a vid at 6:00 pm yesterday and the car thought it was 117 in the shade of a large dumpster where I parked... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tphUrUDGCxY&t=197s... but it probably is the amp causing your problems!

God, that heat reminds me of when I was in the middle east. That's why I can't move back to Vegas even though I know it's not as bad as Arizona, but it's pretty dang close.
