JL Audio and you were rite when I told ya how the deck would stop playing after like 3-4 hrs it was due to the amp I tink. Der gonna yank it today n see whatz up. I MAY need a lido fan in der to keep it Just a lil frustrating when you pay $$$ for good equip and it screws up
How funny. I had a Soundstream amp that did the same thing... I would listen to it for a couple hours and it would jus shut off... let it cool down for a bit and turn it back on and it would be on again..

Yes its frustrating huh It started when I was in Cali and had been ing for several hours so yep it was hot! It just stopped playing and then I realized that it must be an overheating problem so I as you did just left it be and then BOOM it would come back on

Where was yours located Bean? Mine is behind me to the left of the Sub behind the cover. Its in der fairly snug but fit fine. I will see if they can do the fan option without moving it that may be the solution

VMOM needs to do the air duct mod... but to the amp, not the brakes.

So the heat sink (lets call them the fins for your sake mom) are not being able to do its job. AMPS in tight spaces should ALWAYS be mounted so air can cross over the heat sink (usually vertically)

Show me a pic of it please. It really depends on the external casing/heat sink design...but it sounds like it isn't getting good air flow across it.
