My amp was installed by myself $250 save at least. and I mounted it on top of my sub box its an MTX 801D monoblock with no fans
 its powering 2 10" thunder 7500s and its in my trunk (hatchback). Even when i'm going down the freeway at 80 with the seats down it still overheats then 5 min later i can turn it on again for like 10 min. How can i keep it from overheating?

get some rubber washers from the hard ware store. or like rubber plugs or something that are about an inch thick, and put them between the box and the amp so there is like an inch gap between the amp and the sub box so air can flow under there. it will help alot!
