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 mad.gif 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?
