Amp Overheating, How can I keep it cool Options

[chicklover345]

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?

what, that does not make sence. unless you wire it up weird or something, you should wire it up so that the positive (+) or the amp goes to the positive input on one of the subs coils, then the negative of that goes to the positive on the other coil then that negative goes to the negative on the amp, i really dont think that you got a real anser, sounds like bs to me.

I use to have all 3 of my audiobahn 10s (single coil) each with a 600 watt (250 rms i think) and the amps where hidden (fully coverd and wedged together) in the wheel well under the trunk, they never overheated (probilby would aventualy but it never happend when I had em) so unless your amp is really cheap (witch mine where, mtx's are not the best but there not bad) overheating is just not gana happen like that withough a wireing problem.
