Doesn't the aluminum tube get hot from conductive heat? Doesn't that heat up the air intake?

It gets a little bit warm but ut is supposed to work just fine like that, I have more than a year with mines and works great, recommended

Don't think enough heat is emitted to matter, in any event the fan blows it away from the unit downward

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 ....

It should NOT blow out hot air. Your unit may be defective. I'm very happy with this product.

Hmmmmm I never tried mine until I installed it but that don't sound good. You made sure you had somthing in it to heat up because if there is nothing inside you won't feel any heat.

A1：yes, one tube on,low heat : two tubes on,high heat. It can swing to adjust directions too. A2：radiant heat .

I can't see any reason either. The outside does not get hot - not even warm. Very well insulated. But it is an electrical appliance, so there is the rub.

well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones from "Coolerguys."But, so far I have not noticed what I consider "excessive" heat." well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones... » Read More well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones from "Coolerguys."But, so far I have not noticed what I consider "excessive" heat." « Show Less

No. The exhaust port is pretty much flush with the right side of the unit. The exhaust gas is not particularly hot. Just don't touch the metal exhaust port.

The amp will get warm at whatever setting the gain is at. I have mine at just under 3/4 and it gets warm, not hot. Completely normal.

Yes, still runs hot, so plan ahead where you will be mounting it. Also consider heading to the local hardware store to get longer screws and stand offs to both increase your airflow under the unit and move it a bit further from your mounting surface (which reflects the heat right back to the unit).

Your not suposed to, but i have done it befor, it works, but you will probly have to rip some of the fins of the heat sink to. Also a cars brake line makes a good tube for the coolent.

Mine doesn't but my 5th gen also didn't. I do have an express than runs fairly hot.

Haha, make sure the curiosity doesn't get the better of you and make you open it up for a tour. I am also wondering how its managing heat. My guess is the traditional copper piping with aluminum "fin" style heatsink attached behind the LED chips with the fans blowing across.

Our "can" in which the heater was installed had a zero clearance to insulation per the instructions.The metal container does not get very hot due to the design of the blower. Ours works very well!

I have the two channel 240 watt amp. It doesn't get hot at all. Works very well for what I need it to do.

Yes, the amp get hot when operating at or close to peak volume. The amp can be installed on a suitable piece of ply board or some other form of insulation then attached to the seat. I would recommend a cooling fan to be installed for excessive use at peak volume to prevent the amp from getting too hot and tripping off.
