jus like it says guys now before you ask I jus wired it at bridged at 2 ohms (I have 10 gauge wire from amp to sub on it) on my RSdC12 first wow it POUNDS TIGHT AND LOUD any ways and youve seen it install my new amp rack but I jus put 2 high flow CPU fans on it (push and pull system) ill take a pic and post it soon its not going into thermal mode now with the fans on it but its still pretty warm not burnin ur hand but warm enough is there anything else I can do to keep it cooler will even more power wire (I have 0 gauge to cap then 4 gauge from dist block to amp now) help or put higher cap values in it help or any other tips would help oh yea its gain set at 6 volts (all the way down and yes not set at .6 millivolts) and also are my TBA set gonna run warm also I wouldnt think they would but I guess cause they are a signal amp they would. Any advice guys would help!!!

its hot becasue you are running it at 2ohms!
sounds like you have taken the necessary precautions
the only idea i have is to mount it on spacers so the fans can circulate air under the amp. the heatsinks are on the bottom on the ti's.

ya it's gonna get hot...Mine always did and it only thermaled a few times when it was was smokin hot outside in the middle of summer I'm a cranker always poundin the bass!! I had it in the trunk and no extra fans or nothin. you've done all you can, I wouldn't worry about it at all. i knew goin 2OHM's would be nice for your set-up.
