So we went out today and the amps got way hot. Like you could not keep your hand on it. A buddy with ne touched and said his amps never get near that hot. Band of course they were cutting off. This was while riding, not parked. Voltage was around 14.5. And we would just jam while riiding and shut it down after someone falls and they still got stupid hot. Batteries????

Earlier this summer, my son surfed for one hour straight behind my boat and i had my stereo cranked the whole time. I checked on my amps a couple of
times and the Harpoon was just warm, not hot. My sub amp, the 600.1 was hotter than the Harpoon. The stereo played just fine the whole time - never shut off. Air temp was only in the 70's.Al

brett, how long do you play before if cuts off? i can only get in maybe 1 half hour before it starts shutting down and all three amps do it. i even turn the stereo off between riders or when someone falls and it still does it. i do not think this is normal and i am kind of embarrassed when my buddy with a kicker amp with half the power of the harpoon and a fraction of the cost can out play me all day
also this was never an issue until last weekend. and this weekend it was not even that hot out, in fact it was cloudy all weekendLast edited by rdlangston13; 07-18-2011 at 02:09 AM.

I'm thinking this is a battery issue. How many batteries do you have? Do you have an ACR or VSR? Do you have a shore charger and if so which one? How often do your charge your batteries?

I would definitely consider purchasing the fan or even new amps with the internal cooling fan. Taking the seat out definitely works for air flow.

Brian, phone went for a swim yesterday. I'll call you as soon as I get a new one.
For the record, no arc or vsr. 2 batteries, one starting which I ave known is going bad and one accessory/stereo. No shore charger.David

I've been lucky so far this year, even though it seems like it is 105 every day, my amp (arc ks900.6) hasn't shut down yet. Must not be playing it loud enough.....

Not sure how long but I would estimate 2 hours of continuous play (beached) at 90% of max volume with it around 100 degrees to get the Harpoon to go into protect mode. The 800.4 and the 1500.1 haven't overheated yet. Also none of the amps are set to set to max capacity (probably 80%).
