[QUOTE="vb7200, post: 8709525, member: 680347"] Hi all, new here. I recently purchased and installed an HD900/5 in my Accord Coupe with JL C5's all the way around, with a 12W6. I've noticed almost every time I listen to the system, after about 20 minuets I'll get the red status light on the amp, meaning it's overheating. It doesn't cut out, but that light will pop on and the amp feels hot enough to fry an egg on. All the equipment is well within the amp's specs, I don't have any wiring issues, my ground is sold, and the amp is not mounted funny or is a confined space, it's has more than enough space to breath, but I am still getting this light. Recently, we have been having mostly 90 degree days, but I do park in a garage, and the inside of the car is not getting ridiculously hot from baking in the sun. Any suggestions on what I can do? I've been folding the seats down and blasting A/C in hopes that gets better airflow back there, and it's helping a little, but hasn't solved it. I'm at a loss here. Any help is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
