Does a DD5 produce much heat?

Short and sweet question for you please
I'm in the middle of planning/making a boot install, and would like to place my DD5 inside a box in one of the boot (trunk) side panels. The box will be little larger than the DD5 itself. Will this cause an issue with heat build up? I can't really see the unit making a great deal of heat, but thought I'd ask.
Cheers,
Andy.

Nope, it doesn't produce much heat. I have mine in a tight area under some plexiglass and it has no issues.

DD5 produces zero heat unless something is wired wrong.

Thanks. Should be able to manage that bit!
I know it was probably a dumb question anyway, but what with 5 outputs capable of delivering 10 amps each, that's quite a bit of power that could be drawn through it. I'm guessing you guys designed it right so the power goes pretty much straight through, rather than hanging around heating things up
