Ok here's the problem: On long trips my subs will start cutting in and out. It will start with just for maybe 10 seconds every few songs, then it will start doing it every song, then eventually multiple times every song.
Here are my possible causes:
1) I drive like an asshole and the amp isn't screwed down anywhere so it just floats around on top of my box, so maybe it's pulling a little bit on one of the wires connected into it?
2) I live in North Carolina. It gets around 100 degrees on a normal day, just about every day, and my amp is in my trunk and when I stop to look at it to see what the problem is, when i touch the amp I could easily burn my fingers if I touch it for too long.
I have a good feeling that it's more twords the 2nd one. If I buy some small wood screws just to secure my amp down to my box would that effect my sound quality by having extra holes in my box? If it is the overheating issue, how would I go about trying to cool down the amp?
