[QUOTE="Sleeklsc, post: 8644728, member: 552229"] I mount my amp on a panel attached to the X brace behind my box so I've rarely checked the heatsink temp. On a "normal" day it's not that bad. However, after a 30 min drive in 90 degree weather today playing at 30% volume it was quite toasty. As much as it pains me I'm going to keep it as-is, it's simply not worth the risk of it going into thermal protect for something I can't see. Thanks though, guys. Edit: Checked the amps temp in the trunk from baking in the sun for half the day and it was just a little cooler than the above. [/QUOTE]
