Heya guys,
I'm running a VS and I've recently installed a CD player to replace the default radio. Now, the wiring, etc. is all done but I'm having some problems mounting the actually source unit - it's also generating alot of heat at the back and top of the unit, which is concerning to say the least.
I've used a universal bracket to mount it, but the wires at the back are stopping it from dropping all the way back - so it's sticking out about 2cms at the front. While I am able to fix this, I'm concerned about the heat that it's generating - and whether or not that heat could cause some serious damage (i.e. setting it on fire, etc.).
Does anyone have an easy resolution to the heat problems? It's like the actual unit isn't able to breathe at all - even while the car's in motion. I don't want to have to drill through the firewall until the Amp's are ready for installation.
