1000W amps get hot
Not sure I understand what I'm looking at
@everydayscott Compact car amp was mounted next to the foam and fabric liner of a car trunk. The amplifier ran hot (probably because it had a high class-A bias) and melted the synthetic.
@ardgedee it's a class-D, but yeah in hindsight major stupidity on my part.

That's nuts. I've never seen a class-D amp that wasn't cool to the touch, whether or not it was under load. Then again I don't get involved with car audio.
