How does this amp handle heat? Here in South Alabama, the heat in my attic can reach 140 degrees or more.

I have not had any problems with heat. I have with cold, it got down to -10 for a week and the power adapter croaked. the actual amp itself worked fine after buying a 12$ replacement power supply.

Heat will shorten the life of any electronics ,put the device in you main media area to keep it in optimal operating condition.

Not sure on the max wattage. I am running a 1200 watt amp at 2 ohm. Have amp at about 75 percent for over a year no issues except on super hot days if car is sitting in the sun it will kick into protection mode. I recommend you run power on one side sub outs on the other side of car. And keep all power wires as short as possible

With no problems . As long as your wiring is correct . Mine ran my four alpine type r 12s and never got hot at 1ohm . The amp is worth the buy . Take the chance you won't be let down .

This amp powered my 4 15s 1000rms with no problems. Got a little warm but most amps do. Had a 200 amp alternator and two yellowtop Batts with a big three upgrade.

I run a hifonics 500rms x 2 @ 2 ohms for 4 speakers and ran that for at least 5 yrs and have yet to have any issues with them. Ive overheated the amp a few times(more than likely due to poor design) but the speakers have handled it just fine and I run them hard often.Just bought a new truck and plan on installing a set in it as they have never given me issues.

It will probably run hot. It is a very good sounding amp but for me it ran hot regardless. I can only suggest class D amps for less heat and an amp like this maybe only for front.A much as I like it's smooth in depth sound, I rather get a class D amp as they are good also.

yes it does get upto 140 degrees. it takes about 45 minutes to get up that high. I have mine in the garage and the outside temperature does not seem to affect it.

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.

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

It depends on if it's enclosed or not. I experience severe heat and issues when closing my cabinet door...the temp readout from the Onkyo settings says 65+. If I leave the door open it cools off considerably to around 50 or so. This is with an AV fan sitting on top of it as well. I'm debating on whether I should return it or not and whether its a bad amp or not. I haven't checked the wattage output.

I use this unit in attic space with little insulation which is roughly 300 sq ft. On very hot humid days it can bring temps in room to mid 70s.

I have this amp hooked up to a 4-ohm 12 inch Pioneer and it is doing great. Wherever you mount the amp make sure you have enough room under and above the amp for ventilation so it can dissipate heat. Don't flush mount it to the vehicle carpet. I built a small ply wood mounting block for mine with about 3/4" gap between the board and the bottom of the amp for air ventilation and have had no overheating issues. Hope my suggestion helps.

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.

I am running 6 speakers and a sub on a single 1600 amp. I am about to break the sub off to its own amp as i am having minor over heating issues if i crank black sabbath for an extended period. I hope it answers your question.

It should shut off before damage occurs mine is behind the seat of a reg cab truck it gets maybe 120 degree in the summer somtimes hotter if i push it. I have 8 speakers running of mine each channel at 2 ohm

yes with ease I have tested it on a few dif amps and now have found it will handle upto a 800 watt rms amp befor it starts to get hot but at 1000 watts rms it started melting
