^how did it handle the heat in the summertime? Have you made any long road trips while the weather was hot, if so how did the amp do?

It doesn't get particularly hot here in England, maybe 80F tops, But I've never experienced any problems with either my old setup (Alto Mobile 4 ch + JL250/1) or the PDX-V9.

Longest trip would be around a 3 hour drive.


I have made some changes to my rear tray to stop it rattling, which involved cutting holes in it and covering with cloth, which will no doubt help with cooling, but even before I did that, the old setp was always fine.

Jl audio XD 400/4
Excellent amp. Fits under the seat. Hits hard and over heating isn't a concern.
It's a tiny little unit

Great, good to hear! Here in Texas, it gets well over 100 degrees in the summer, and sometimes fall, spring, and winter!

I'm running a jl xd200/2 for the 6.5"s & an alpine Mrv-m500 for a sundown 10" and a cheap bazooka amp for some bass shakers.

All amps are digital amps which seem to run cooler than class a/b. I have them located above the gas tank & have never had any issue with the south Arkansas & north Texas heat. Any of the 3 of them would fit under or behind the seat I just preferred them to be hidden above the tank
