Why u place your AMP???

[Poserwoo]

i just felt my amp inside the spare tyre compartment, its VERY HOT!!! izit normal, my hand straight repel away from the amp, VERY HOT!!! HELP!!! dun wanna shift it up!!!

[Slonez]

Is your tire compartment ventilated? If not try installing a fan & making some form of exhaust outlet for the hot air to escape.

Or you can relocate the amp where there's ventilation.

...install a ventilation fan...can tap the current frm ur amp power terminals...unplugged ur drain rubber stopper on the compartment(got to do tis for better air circulation)but it's s better to place a netting on the hole preventing insect or other pest to get into ur compartment..

I have 2 amps under my 2 front seats, think it is a good place, not hot at all, and nearer to HU can get better SQ

I haf got 1 Amp inside my Boot. Yup it's hot to touch esp if I turn up the volume but a quick check from my istaller, it's normal. I dunno how hot ur Amp is. U may wanna bring it to a audio shop for a quick check whether the heat produced is it normal so u can haf a peace of mind.

 

Cheers.
