How to keep my amp from turning off?

-Ok it's not connection problems or anything but its 105 outside and my truck is sitting in the sun with no shade so my 4 channel amp gets real hot it has a fan and it helps out but it's turned off on me 2 times before any help? It's a mtx 4 channel terminatorGet it elevated!!!!! you can buy some longer screws and some spacers. little plastic spacers that are hollowed out. place your amp on those then drill it down on top of those solid. It will only raise your amp to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch depending on the spacer size. Shouldnt be too hard to find but this will let air flow all around the amp. Also try to make sure there is a inch or 2 of breathing room all over the amp. if you have your amp in your truck make sure that the vents and fan are pointing vertacal not horizontal. this will help heat to rise up and out on its own. Because heat rises. Buy a windshield shade. When you get in your truck and its a 110 to start off. then you pump wattage to your already hot amp. Well you already know what happens lol. And run that A/C I have a black interrior truck. I have to cool it off or I litterally smell my speakers if i just hop in it and run the system. The biggest thing is get those amps off the ground. That cools them off so much. helps out a lot. And buy that window shade. Try to keep your amp out of direct sunlight.



I have heard and seen some people doing extra stuff to cool there amps. I have seen people install a 2nd fan which doesnt always work out that well. and I have even seen people hook up a water cooling system. You could try these but Its time and effort. The fan one is take the cover plate off. drill some holes in it. and attach a fan to it. But you already have a fan.



Oh and get a capacitor and make sure your getting all the volts you can going to the amp. More volts in the more you can turn down your amps gains to make it not work as hard to get the same watts coming out. Plus this will make your sound quality go up too. Maybe infest in a deck that has a higher pre out voltage. or get a line driver to boost voltage. audiocontrol makes some good ones but there pricey.make sure ur at correct ohms for amp if u can be a little higher than the low imp. but when its a 105 outside its best just not to push em too hard heat killls everything
