I'm having the same problem. I'm running 2 Kicker 700.5s (1) to the Exile cabins and sub (1) to the Exile towers

It's 100 degrees out. Amps are both smokin HAWT to touch, go into protection mode, 5min break and back to business.

I have 2 batteries with perko switch that are possibly needing to be replaced, but don't wanna go that route just yet if you guys figured out it was a separate problem...
Amps can and will be hot to the touch, but that in itself doesnt mean they are going into protect mode due to their internal temp. You have 2 identical amp, but both may be used differently. Are they both going into protect mode at the same time? If so, I would look into something other then heat, like battery voltage. Is this a problem with the engine running or while at anchor or both? What gauge amp cabling is used for both amps?

How many speakers is each amp driving? Is the sub a 2 or 4 ohm load at the amp? Are the amps bolted directly to a carpeted wall?
