decks heating up, help me before it fries!!!

hey everyone,
this may be a stupid thread but whatever . . .
i just installed my new deck, it's a Sony CD/MP3 Player CDXF7705. I have it hooked up with an 01+ wiring harness and haven;t put the centre console back in becasue whenever I feel the back of the deck it is really really hot! I connected all of the wires by colour so i think I did it right. Although there is still 1 orange wire left and 1 dark blue wire left from the harness and 1 light blue wire left from the sony deck. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or what the problem is?
Thanks in advance
Joe

Is the deck hot all the time, or only when it's powered on? Do you have any pics?

If its only hot after playing for a while, then its just the unit getting hot.
If its always hot remove it immediatly and contact sony

Not all sony products are crap, but ALL sony car audio products are cut-cost, cheap, products. They get the job done, but they are no Alpine.

My Pioneer runs hot (worse when using CD) I would put a small PC fan on it if it were easier to access it.
