Nakimichi amp in gs400 runs too hot need advise on cooling
well i was driving around tonight and had my stock system pumping but after an one hour it started to kinda sound funny like a fizzle any way im guessing its the factory stock amp ..since it was extreamly hot to the touch(you could have burned your hand on it) i noticed the amp has vents on the side and was wondering if anyone has done anything to help keep it cooler by doing some mod to it such as blowing air on it or sucking the hot air out ...or anything else ..any ideas would be great to help keep the stock amp cooler .
thanks.
thanks.

it isnt the nakamichi amp that was causing a problem. the gs nakamichi amp is in the trunk. do you mean the nakamichi equalizer was hot? that is a 9 inch by 4 inch by 2 inch metal box that mounts behind the cd changer and gets water condensation damage from the a/c evaporator housing .it will eventually toast the equalizer which has a 700.00 list price. so when you drove a long time with the air on water was dripping into the box. eventually the water will get in the cd changer also. . the pioneer premium system has no equalizer box so it is only a problem of the nakamichi premium system. is the evaporator drain plugged? there should be water dripping on the ground after stopping on a hot day. if no water it is ending up behind the glovebox in the equalizer aqnd the cd changer. .
