where and how is the amp mounted?. what ohm load do you have the amp running at?. how did you ground it?

 

[RollItUp]

its at 1 ohm load.. the ground it a solid copper wire but i dont think its going to the chassis.

oh yeah its mounted to my box but i have spacers between its so it gets air behind it.. and i looked it up and it says... "• 1ohm Load Capable " but im not even even totally sure if thats where its at.. i got 2 speakers wired to it at 2ohms each

Buy fans...?

i dont think buying a fan would be good option if that would work at all.. it got 2 amps and 3 subs behind my seat in a single cab f-150...
