Alpine 9885 Heat Sink Very Hot


Recommended Posts

I got a 9885 a week ago and was installing today. It's going into a 86 Mercedes so I connected everything temporarily to make sure the wiring was correct. After setting it up and running it for about 10 minuets the rear heat sink was to hot to touch.

Normal? If not what might be causing this or do I need to return to BB?

how loud were you running it? at low volume I would say yes. at high probably not. Oh yeah and your not running it to the factory Bose that are .5 ohms are you? If so thats the reason.

hmm well if you have a meter check the impedance of the speakers at the head unit to make sure its not below 2 ohms.
