You don't have an inline fuse? That's not why it's running hot, but you should have one regardless. If it isn't going into thermal protection, it should be okay. Some amps run pretty **** hot for whatever reason. My Alpines always ran a little warm.

should have one anyways i doubt that is the problem some amps just run hotter than others
