Well I am thinking the amps can handle it. A few weeks ago It was about 90
degree weather here and I don't know how, but a blanket was placed on top of
my amp (currently just sitting between the rear seat and the side wall) Well
my amp cut out after about 45 minutes of driving, and I thought I had blown
a fuse, nope, the amp got so hot, it burned be when I went to pick it up.
The thermal protection kicked in. I thought I had fried the amp, but after
sitting for awhile (after I got where I was going) the amp had a chance to
cool down and still works fine ! Thats quality engineering.
