Sony xplod HU over heating?
So my buddy helped me for a bit yesterday to get the CD player (sony Xplod) hooked up in my boat....but now the back of it gets pretty damn hot (hot enough to burn me if I touched it..... Options:
1) the old am/fm radio that was in there had a much smaller fuse so maybe its getting hot because of that...
Fix: replace fuse with bigger fuse
2) the old radio didn't need a as much power so the new radio is trying to pull to much power from the helm.
Fix: run power back from the battery
3)the old radio had all seperate "possitive" wires fo the four speakers but the left and right side speakers shared a "negative" wire.... on the new radio this might be creating to many ohms and causing to much resistence causeing it to heat up.
Fix: run seperate "negatives" for each speaker
4) a few people said that the back of the radios do get hot and not to worry about it, espesially the sony's. (however it burn me when I touched it so im thinkng that maybe its too hot.)
Any ideas?
