does this amp get hot

To a certain extent if you are totally blasting. Normal use rHardly get warm.For least heat I recommend a class D amp instead. Remember your lights will dim with any amp if you are underpowered with stock alternator so if serious with woofers then upgrade alternator and add extra ground wire and thick cable to amps. I always and only suggest extra battery by amps, never any caps wich actually place a load on system.

It depends on how you use it. I'm running two sets of 6.5 components and it never gets hot. But if you bridge it down to two ohms it will get hot.

YES. The amp is barely warm after hours of full power usage, as long as the rack is out of the transport box.

As long as your speakers are 8 ohms there is no reason for the amp to overheat. I would say that the amp was defective.

it should not get very hot or smell hot , make sure it matches old motors specs ie. amp draw ,horsepower, & correct voltage & rotation

Yes you do, if you put a smaller gauge wire you will put a lot of resistance on the wire and amp. The amp will run hotter and less efficient .

Amps will get hot to the touch when pushed, but if they get so hot they shut off you will probably have to check how your speakers are wired. This usually signals to much resistance popping the overload circuit.

Yes it is I've sent back to factory twice and was told. Nothing wrong I've notice that when the sound quits the fan motor is not on causing the amp to get hot shutting it down as of right now unit is not working glad I save the box

I returned mine, so I can't comment on the width and stuff. I don't remember it running hot. This unit is sufficient, however I didn't notice any improvement and it really ended up being a volume knob.

I didn't check the amps but I hooked it up and it got pretty hot so I assume it pulls a lot. I never used it because I thought it would kill my battery.

Hi Evan FurrThese speakers will work in series wiring configuration, so your amp wont overheat.Thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

With no problem best 4 channel amp I ever owned never gets hot or stops performing highly recommend this amplifier to anybody with personal experience behind it. I have this in my DODGE 3500 DUALLY pushing a set of 6x9 3-ways Memphis, a set of 6 1/2 3-ways Memphis, a set of 3" Memphis on my dash and a set of silk Memphis tweeters and it handles the load like a champ.

I have had this a few months now. I run it full 2ohms, all four F & R channels on 2ohmm Infinity Kappa's, and the sub channel 2ohm on a Xtant X1244. If I rail on this set up for about 45+ min straight, it gets hot. I ended up adding an 8" axial flow fan to my set up, blowing across the amp, and now it only gets warm to touch after wanging on it for hours at a time ....

Really don't know. What I can tell you is the unit works well, but does get hot
