I was wondering if anyone has had any trouble with running a phoenix gold amp.My problem is I live in Fresno and its in the 100's my amp is in the trunk lying down on its bottom.When I touch the amp in the afternoon after my car has been sitting the amp is already really hot.I run it for about 20 minutes and the amp shuts off.Any Ideas how to cool off our trunks.

Park in the shade? Open the back seats to let the hot air escape? Ride with the back seats open with the two center air vents pointed back there to cool it down? Wire up a 12V fan(s) to the remote wire to blow on your amp to cool it? And, If all else fails, get a small bag of ice, and wrap it in a towel to absorb the moisture, then, sit it on the amp for a few minutes to cool it before powering up.(Yes, I've seen this done at a competition, and it worked for the guy that did it.)

I think having fans would be the easiest way...

Maybe wire them with constant power or switched power such that the fans turn on when the car turns off.

You can probably achieve the latter with a relay

or hook them up to remote wire for your amp. come on with amp.

Personally I would go with constant power. I would bet dollars to donuts that it never kills your battery, and it would definitely make things a LOT cooler.
