[QUOTE="grassroots, post: 3015546, member: 571725"] i have the same amp and after an hour or so of playing at high volume it gets so hot that you could fry and egg off it... not even exaggerating... mine isn't covered at all and has plenty of open space around it but doesn't get any direct air flow. it does have a termal shutoff which i found out at a tool show. i was tailgating with the volume cranked up and after maybe an hour and a half to 2 my mids and highs turned off and the amp was a few degrees away from glowing red. i'll be buying one of those stinger crossflowing fans... they're on ebay for like 35 bucks shipped... edit: i just realized you have a kx and mine is a zx, but they're pretty much identical internally...
