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?

its not the ground i went through that prob already when i go and touch the amp itself with the back of my hand it burns to where i cant stand it. i am using 4 gauge wire i think. so i think that is enough and i can touch the + and - wires and they are normal temp. i went to mtx website and it said having the gain set up wrong could make it overheat. how exactly do you tune it. i think i got it pretty close to perfect but maybe not.
