Get some computer case fans, and mount them in the general area around your HU to circulate air around it/over the heatsink

nope, i'm serious - some people cut holes each side of the HU in the dash and put them there, tho a well placed couple round the back will get the air flowin nicely. Use some with LED's in to give a nice backlit effect too

You changed anything on it recently? Sounds like its getting the wrong impedience i.e like its running 2ohm but h.units should only run in 4 ohm.

Well TBH im not sure if he's saying that its getting overly hot or not? My £600 Apline gets toasty but thats norm... Then again my mate wired up 8 speakers to his 4 outputs of his h.unit (2 ohms) and that got toasty for a BAD reason...

My head unit gets fucking hot - I thought it was just coz it was close to the engine and all the hot air was getting to it?
