My Carlsbro Sherwood 60R combo gets very hot, on the rear side of the amp chassis. Even when used at moderate volumes, for an hour. If I touch it somewhere near the power-prong side, I'll almost burn my fingers.
I haven't opened up yet; but I'm going to. I suspect they have even built the amp to run hot, so that it won't last.
Anyhow; I'm thinking how to solve this problem? If I had a proper dremel w/saw heads; I'd make a hole in the metal chassis and install a fan?
-and heatsinks on the power transistors ++, if that would help.
any 2c? (please don't just tell me, it's a cheap amp )
Thanks
