Heat

All of my ska q mini boxes and main box are hot to touch. Is anyone else experiencing this. What should I do? They usually sit behind the Tv. I have taken them all out and turned them off to cool down, but I worry that when I turn them on again they will be hot again.

@Kimbo86 

The boxes are designed that you should be able to rest the palm of your hand down on the top. You say they are behind the TV's. They should all be in well ventilated areas. It would be very unusual for all the boxes to have an overheating issue at the same time.

@Kimbo86 If you put items that normally generate heat behind another item that also generates heat your going to have this kind of issue heat on heat is going to makes things hotter.    It's also a fire risk.

 

Leave them in a well vented area and you should be able to use them normally.
