Does this amp run cool enough to put another component on top of it? I did this with my old Pansonic sa-xr55 because it was also class D.

Yes I stack my CD player and then my turntable on top and I have hardly felt any issue with heat.

I do not have a heavy speaker load on my unit so I can't give an informed answer. However I would not recommend stacking another unit on top of this one since you will block the vents and impede cooling when it might be required. Without ever measuring the load or the internal temperature, how would you really definitively know when you are overloading the unit?

They do get hot. We have one in a cabinet that I do not put anything on top of but one on an open shelf that I do stack on, both work fine. I would avoid stacking components on one in a closed cabinet with no ventilation. I don't know how hot is "too hot" but they do fine used this way for us.

However, the Onkyo A-9050 has vents on the top-probably for a good reason-so just to safe I put my CD player on the bottom. Hope this helps.

RH is wrong. NEVER put ANYTHING on top of an amp. The heat will cook the internal components.

I would advise against it...while there might not be a problem at moderate levels, the amp should have sufficient area available for heat dissapation, in order to prevent overheating. So, if you can avoid it Eduardo, I'd do so. :)

I have the same amp and was wondering the same thing. I'm thinking it should work just fine

Will this will be the only amp you have ? If so it can be mounted on top of your radio. There is a mount that can be used though which fits very nicely beside the radio.

If you have a pair of these your options with this amp are 125w to each in stereo. Each sub is 4 ohms and the bridged x1 or (mono) operation for this amp is rated for 4 ohms x1 @ 450w for use with a sub. You have two subs both at 4 ohms so wiring the subs in parallel will create a 2 ohm load on the amp and it will quickly overheat. The manual states unfortunately that the bridged 2 ohm load cannot be used for a sub. I actually tried it and found it to be true with the amp heating up and going into protect.

No. I'm running a 700 mono block and it's not even turned up all the way. It's super loud. It's a great speaker. The box is nice. I want to run max but don't wanna buy a new amp.

I wouldn't run that amp wide open, the sub might not last long at 900 watts continuously. Keep her at 60-70% and you'll be ok, and the sub will last you much longer

Naw idk but it has a lot of power, really good amp I had NO problems with it

Its not bad, ive had mine for over a year with a 500 watt mono amp hooked up and it has never failed me. Your not going to win any competitions w it, but it sounds and works really good.

It has more than enough power. You wouldn't use the full power of this amp.

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

This should be fine, however, I see no reason why you couldn't add another amp. It would just be a waste of money considering the amp in these is pretty good already.
1301075
I would say no, this is pretty weak. I have one 15 or 17 inch sub and this doesnt compare to the previous one that I blew out. I'm not very knowlegable on other amps but because I have this one, I would say try to inquire about another one. lol

Definitely. I'm using that same amp to deliver about 750 W RMS to that same sub and the amp doesn't even get warm. Specs for that amp are 750 W, but my birth sheet was 880 W. One of my friends has been running 900 W to that sub for a couple years now. You should have absolutely no problem.

Yes, if you configure your amp to work as a three channel amp only!the first two channels will be your front and rear and your third will be the sub!now, keep in mind that you will not have a lot of base - it will sound loud enough only to you and your passengers - you will not impress anyone with this setup.
1977980
Yes it would. I have it running a subwoofer and it does well just remember it would be good if you add a coolin fan cuz they tend to get hot

This Amp is a class AB.....works great, but does run a little warm when you are hitting it hard.

Yes is class D amp and is suitable to run tops of mid level at least 450 watts rms in 8 ohmns not ideal for tops of 1000 watts rms or greater
