Reasons for hot amp?

Okay, my cones stay cool not warm at all since i set the gain, i was thinking running a 0ga wire from the neg battery to chassis and grind the ground some more.

amps get hot normally. If someone tells you their amp is not getting hot, it just means they can't sense it by the touch, but its hot.

Well kinda i mean i shaved off the metal and its on the floor of the trunk, but like i said under the hood where the neg wire goes to chasis is very small so i was thinking use to 0 ga and run it there also.v

Hahah sorry about that. I'm your age and had a 2 12" Type R setup less than 4 months ago. I think you are fine man. Every amp I've run has gotten hot and gains have been set correctly. Especially if the amp is in a place where the hear will not dissipate quickly, they can get pretty warm.

Okay well its cool i'll seriously stop though. Lol

Yeah probably but i need a bigger alt probably soon and i don't really know how to do do anything with the serpentine belt.

okay so i checked my voltage at my amp and it sits at 13.5 when it off and when its on it drops to about 11.3 when it hits hard.
