I recently bought a amp and this amp is the second amp. Last time the amp i brought is some cap ayam and it wont heat up...but spoiled....the amp i recently bought will heat up after 10 min. Component set and woofer all linked to the amp. Is that normal?

It is normal for amp to produce heat while it operating. But is it to much heat or just normal one?

heat till cut or jus heat?

if just heat its normal...

if ur amp got cut-capability it's gud.. at least it doesn't continue heating until burn...

so far still havent till cut. But when i touch it, it was like more than a warm water heat.

that is normal... my amps only sound good when they are at those heat... hehe.... at least for me...

Your amp like engine aaa.... Need optimal tempature to be at it best performance...

hehe... vacuum tube amps also like tht ma... it s kinda normal... but then mine is solid state one la...

my amp for woofer heat up very fast but neva cut.

why amp heats up?

1. amp is working at full potential.
2. amp's heat dissipation is good.
3. amp is running at low impedance.
4. amp having prob with grounding
5. amp is overloading


for 1 and 2, it's good...
but for 3, it will shorten the life of the amp..
for 4, it will decrease the performance and spoilt eh amp, unexpected sound may produced..
for 5, it definitely gonna spoil the amp, but most amp got protection for it..

why amp doesn't heat up?
1. heatsink design doesn't match with the power amplifier heat dissipation rating..
2. amp is running at higher ohm, low current and low performance.
3. there's cooling equipment.
4. amp not working whahaa

a amp that doesn't heats up is not good....car amplifier casing design is to dissipate the heat from inside to the outside. if ur amp doesn't work that way, u might have a short life amp..

if amp doesn't cut? then it might get burned..
