Very cool indeed. Mind you it is an ICEpower amp. 😂

I'm using my own 7297 based amplifier at the moment and it doesn't produce much heat (like, none). At least one guy also uses it instead of any of his Firstwatt amps during summer that lives somewhere hot. It's not really too abnormal for people to have summer amps.

Biggest problem is power cuts with the electrical storms. Had two yesterday for very short period but amp will not like it so unplugged!

The weather went cool again so I put my winter amp back in. As soon as I did that, back to heatwave.

Amps (even the tube ones) are actually coping surprisingly well . . . subwoofers however, could fry a blooming egg on the headsinks/radiator fins on the back panel. Thought Class D amps were supposed to run cool!?!?
