[QUOTE="bump465, post: 8521628, member: 660886"] alright so I had a zapco 1000.4 that id thermal protect in about 45mins. Im from az and never had my amp thermal protect on me. (in Co. now) I thought the amp was on the fritz or just to old to function for extended periods. Replaced it with 2 audison lrx amps, (these ones) [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7170_Audison-LRx-4.300.html"]Audison LRx-4.300 (lrx4300) High-fidelity, 4-Channel LRx Series[/URL] [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7191_Audison-LRx-6.SR.html"]Audison LRx-6.SR (lrx6sr) High-end, Car Theatre 6-Channel[/URL] Now these amps last about an hour then the 4 channel thermals then the 6 channel 5 mins later... wtf. my sq3500 never thermals. All amps are in the spare tire location in the trunk so they are basicly getting zero airflow. the sq amp is basicly encased in a wooden box and the audison are on top of it, but i doubt that much heat travels through the 1/2in wood for my sq to be heating the audison. Do i simply need a D block for vocals if i wish to mount in this location? or should i just "underdrive" a much more powerful a/b amp? I really dont want to have to rewire everything to mount the amps elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
