Everything works fine & sounds great, but it puts off a whole lot of heat. So much that when I touched the built in amp that it burnt me. I inspected all of the wires & noticed that it burnt through the insulation on one of my RCA wires that goes to my subwoofer's amp. So I called Harman Kardon's tech dept. this morning & they said that it indeed does generate a ton of heat & is normal for that model. So now I need something to wrap my wires with that resists a lot of heat because it's such tight quarters in there & I know some wires will inevitably make contact with the unit. What can I use? Thanks!

its wrapped in a white fabric/nylon.
silicone tubing might work too, like the stuff around the o2 sensor wiring.

Hmmm...good idea, I didn't even think of that. Thanks.

Not sure how to insulate the hot amplifier.
Anyway, you have to show us a pic of your new system when you got time.

The heat was caused by the factory amplifier, so the place I bought it from is going to disable it tomorrow. They called the manufacturer & got more detailed info than me.
