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.

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)

My kenwood amp is in the same spot. It's not great but there is fair heat disappation - much better than the people that enclose the amp in plastic!
