Amp heating up ???

trying to get my vehicle ready for my 1st event in over 10 years, going into SB1, problem is that my Crossfire amp is heating up something fierce, playing musical bass cd's the amp will cut out, playing a 40 hz tone for 20 seconds and it dosent cut out(confused) i know i have a voltage problem by watching the volt meter(adding alternator & 2nd battey) was considering installing a fan. will this help a little ?

you have an ohmage problem as in being ran to low causing it to heat up. go out to radioshak and buy an external fan man

did more checking on my setup, its not a heat issue thats making my amp cut out(still gonna put that fan in though), its a voltage issue, i need to get my alternator put in and my extra battery, thanks everyone

kool but the heating issue is do ro running it so low man

well im running a Crossfire VR1000d at 1ohm to a FI Q 12 d2 in a 2.5 cuft ported enclosure

woooo i love that amp.................. num num.... good amp goood good amp.... keep your voltage at least 12.7 for 30 seconds and get more batts..... batts are unlimited in your class so stock up buddy

12 volt batts******** zinggggggggggggg and 1-alt.......
