Trace, I'm going thru a similar issue. It could be a number of things. I haev narrowed it down to either being a bad amp or the brand of amp I have just run that hot. this is after numerous diagnostics with the manufactuer of the amp. I haev some fan lying around so I'm going to add them. Very easy to wire. you'll need a relay. hook the remote wire up to the relay so when your stereo powers on the amp fans turn on. what amps do you have
is the one on the kicker amp visible n the kenwood amps dont have fans and were i ride its like 100 degrees then all that is i a compartment with no venilation
Chase I just added a 1" wide aluminum strip across the face with 1-2 small computer fans attached but you may need more then that due to your high ambient temps. What about a small bilge blower with a 3" hose aiming at the amp area and grabbing outside air for the cooling? A buddy with an SSV did this and he mounted the blower at the area beside the passenger next to the driver where there was a gap thru to the storage area.
