Only way to get it back is to shut off the car for at least an hour or more.

Hi again. The cabin ventilation air , exit the cabin through the one way " valve " placed 4 inch over the amp. It makes all the different in the world . Ps . My previous project with my 3 series , i had my audison AV 5.1 K placed in the same location where the factor amp is. And this amp is running pure class a to the tweeters , and it can reach operation temperature of 80 degree . Even though it was in this small space, it never got hot.!
Im not trying to be smart here, but only trying to help . Regards Hudmamma.
Spent the last 20 mins scanning through realoem and can't find any evidence of this exhaust air vent you're referring to. Since you seem to know all about the vent, perhaps you can forward me the realoem link? Is it part # 17 as depicted in the link below?
