Disconnecting amp before road trip?

[AIpine]

Hello,

It's been quite some time since I've posted on here. I just recently got a new car and just got my amps and speakers connected, but I have a small question.

I'm going on a little road trip with some friends tomorrow. Looks like it's going to be about 4.5 hours of driving. I was just wondering if I should disconnect my amplifier powering my subwoofers before I leave? Or if it will be fine. I recall hearing a long while back that it is not good. I don't remember the exact reason why it is not good, but I'm just curious. Let me know what you guys think. My amp is a Alpine MRX-1100, and it is powering 2 Alpine Type R 12's.

Thank you.

No need to unhook any of it. You will be fine.

I would run full tilt the entire way, long as your not clipping or running ure subs way over rms no reason for anything to overheat.
