Well, because heat rises and your heat sink and vents are on the top of the amp. That�s great that your amp has not melted itself. Maybe your amp doesn't get very hot??




Maybe they have enough airflow back there?

I know my Super Cool Neat-O 99 series RF 15" 8ohm 150W RMS sub will overheat my 300W RMS @ 4ohm (so ~150W @ 8ohm) MTX amp in the summer, which is mounted to the side of the box.

What it does, is the sub will just cut out after a while with the Power LED still on (doesn't have a protect LED). Amp is burning-your-fingers hot at this point, which leads me to believe it's overheated. After about 5 minutes, it will cut back on.

Of course, it doesn't overheat nearly as much as when the stuff was in my non-folding seat 96 GL... Guess the folding seats allow plenty of air to get in the trunk, especially since I drive with the windows/sunroof open most of the time when it's nice outside... I love fresh air!

...ok, real reason is my A/C condenser has a hole in it
