is my amp overheating, i smelt something like metal burning wasnt too strong, after i turned of my system, will it catch on fire?

 

I doubt it will burst into flames, where is your amp located at?

 

Is it new? If so, some smell for a day or two but then it'll go away, nothing to worry about. On the other hand, it could be overheating, but usually if they overheat to the point you can smell them, something's fried. Maybe it was just something else, not you amp? As was already asked, where's it mounted, does it get any ventilation?

 

it is behind the sub box rite against the back seat ill, shud i pull it out a lil

 

btw, sorry but uhh which is better sealed or ported, my box came with something to shut the port

 

I'd move the amp so it gets better air flow, and ported is better, maybe you could mount the amp on top of your box?

 

^^ Sealed or ported depends on the woofer's requirements and the size (internal volume/airspace) of the enclosure. If your sub came ported, but with a "port stopper" of some sort, then try both configurations and use whichever you like best.

Your amp is likely fine where it is, if it smelled like it was burning, that'll probably go away, there should be adequate air circulation with it mounted on the rear seatback.

 

thanks guys
