    it gets hot when running? or it gets hot when it's in a hot car? Under normal conditions, the amp really shouldn't be getting too hot to run.

    10 * C apparently cuts the life of a CPU in half.

    So think about that...

    I have a 15 L7 with an orion 2500 amp and it only gets warm not hot. Are you sure you have it wired correctly?

    What is the sub wired to?

    If its anything less than 4 ohms and you're bridging the amp then that is why you're overheating it...
