Help:: Amp Over heating?!?!?! in our glove box.
Help:: Amp Over heating?!?!?! in our glove box.
hey guys.. i just installed an amp on our glove box.. behind the passanger seat
if i drive my car for about an hour i could smell my amp burning up...
i saw lots of people that put their amp on their glove box.
any problem heating up or any kinda solution to resolve this..
i was may be thinking cutting out an hole on the bottom of the plastic piece.. to let it ventilate..
any help would do~

Is the sub 4 or 2 ohm?
Im going to guess that amp uses far too few mosfetts or the power supply really sucks.
Your best bet is to buy a 12v DC computer fan and cut a hole in the side of the glove box and hook the positive lead on the fan up to the remote turn on the amp.
This may not help, or It may help. Its what I can come up with short of investing in an amp that measures up to the quality the car said amp is going in.

wow.. if the power supply sucks the amp over heats?? cause it used to have slow burn fues. but during the install i burned it so in replacement. i got fast burn fues in there.. that might be it?

My PC is in my glovebox and in the summer it can get pretty hot back there. The PC itself has a fan but I cut a few holes in the very back of the box to ventillate a bit. Someone suggested mounting a small fan back there. It could easily be wired to the rear Cig. lighter. I didn't ever need to do it but its not a bad idea.
Finally, someone tried to run a tube from his AC vent under the dash under the center console and into the box to keep it cool. I don't know how that worked but I saw pics of it.
Let me see if I can find them.

To provide cooling to the glove box, I ran a black 1/2" plastic tubing (like a conduit) from the front HVAC duct through the center tunnel to the glove box (all stealth). But since I didn't want to cut into the stock HVAC duct, and since I didn't want it to be a permanent install (since in the winter you would have heater on and you don't want that sent to the back), I simply stuck the tubing into the HVAC outlet at the bottom of the driver foot well and tucked under the dash plastic (there is room if you feel for it). You can't even notice the install if you didn't know it was there. I still have to test and tweak to get this perfect, though, but it's an idea.

I use a F450 Alpine (glovebox) and after an houre of Pure bass rolling it does shut down for a few seconds, I assume it is the heat..my ohms are correct.

I am also going to install a PC in the area where the original 10" would go behind the Driver seat
