How can I keep my car amp from overheating?

I recently got an amplifier installed in my car and the thing keeps overheating. I don’t want to have to return it and do the uninstallation process. How can I keep my car amp from overheating?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having problems with your new amplifier. However, there are a few ways you can keep your car amp from overheating:
  • Change the position of your amp or install ventilation to keep it cool
  • Check for loose wiring
  • Make sure that the amp has been installed properly
  • Go to an audio sound professional and have them assess and repair the problem
Once the issue with your amp is resolved, be sure to get the proper
car insurance
 coverage for your
sound system
 to avoid having to pay out of pocket for repairs in the event of an accident. If you aren’t sure how to do this, check out the
Jerry
 app and speak to one of our fantastic agents.
If you’re hesitant to switch plans or insurance providers because you’re worried about the work involved, don’t be. Jerry does all the paperwork for you and even helps cancel your old policy! And if you have any questions along the way, just text one of our agents through the app. They will always be there to assist you.

How much does it cost to fix a car frame?
I was in a bit of a fender bender with my old 1993 Toyota Tacoma. I don’t have collision coverage, so I have to get my truck repaired myself. I think there may be some frame damage, but it is still drivable. How much does it cost to fix a car frame?
