In most cases, we look at the speakers used for clues to heat issues. If the speakers are much below 4 ohms per channel, the internal amps work harder and heat up. This can be caused by 3 main things:
1. Speakers are closer to 2 ohms per channel like the factory Bose systems use
2. If we wire up more than 1 speaker per channel in parallel, the net load drops to create heat
3. There are a few Aftermarket 2 ohm Component speakers kits out there that will cause a HU to heat up too
JBL and Infinity have 2 ohm products in their mix and an outboard amp is used to get the most from them.
