Amp overheating?
All the connections are fine, im runnin 1 amp with 1 12" sub, but after about 10 min, the sub shuts off. Ill go and check out the amp, and its led will be red (instead of green) and its BURNING hot. Not to mention the temp down here in miami was about 100 degrees. If i turn the car off for a while and turn it back on, same thing happens
Could this be why my amp shuts on and off?
Would buying a fan help?

sorry bro, dont kno those specs. BUT i went to one of the more reputable shops here and they suggested the sub that i got, and also suggested me to use an 8gauge amp kit. The amp is a sony xplod 1000 and the sub is a 12" kicker. The amps in the trunk. I can prob take a look at the sticker and see if it gives me any of that info
thnx
