Do this sound system get hot I don't want to burn out my plug socket?

You can put it anywhere you want. If it is an enclosed cabinet I would make sure that there is enough ventilation. (see last post) If there isn't, heat will build up and the components in the cabinet will not last as long. When I am home I have my TV and Tuner on from when I get home from work to when I go to bed. Heat builds up and a cooling fan was a great solution to the heat build up. I'm no Amazon electronics wiz bang, just my 2 cents. Good luck.

While there is a relationship between power consumed and heat I'm not sure of your question. I use it in an enclosed space and it generates no more heat than any other tuner/amp of equivalent size and power. It also has an eco mode that uses less power although sound performance is degraded so that's not an option for me.

Yes. With all recievers they get warm. I found this out wiyh my last Sony. I had it in an enclosed entertainment center with glass doors. It did not have enough ventilation and eventually stopped working. To combat the heat I added a small low speed cooling fan to the cabinet. Similar to what you would see on a desktop computer. I simply cut a hole in the back of the cabinet and screwed into wood. Very low noise does a great job keeping cool. Found fan on Amazon.Hope this helps!

All receivers get hot to a certain degree. Keep it properly ventilated and you shouldn't have any problems. Also, unless you have less than a 15 amp outlet and you don't have an exceedingly large amount of things plugged into that circuit you'll be fine.

I'm not sure... I don't even use mine because it makes a humming sound every time I plug it in. I'm afraid it's going to spark a fire.

it gets really hot actually. mine melted some plastic when it blew. My TV died about 3 days after I installed the latest blub. (Power Supply) most important thing it to keep the fan in the back clean and clear. It can cool better!

Mine has been running for over a month. It sits in an AV rack system, so I don't see it often. I just checked and it is only warm to the touch.

It depends on if it's enclosed or not. I experience severe heat and issues when closing my cabinet door...the temp readout from the Onkyo settings says 65+. If I leave the door open it cools off considerably to around 50 or so. This is with an AV fan sitting on top of it as well. I'm debating on whether I should return it or not and whether its a bad amp or not.I haven't checked the wattage output.

I know there is openings at the bottom on the back I think for speakers but I don't know where your battery is. Mine doesn't get hot.

We haven't experienced the plug getting hot. The room heater was allowed to run all night several times. The heater shuts off when the selected temperature is reached.

No. Please make sure you have appropriate power pluged in. Heat is usually a sign of over amped supply

No problem at all. My speakers are 4-6 ohms with dips lower than 4 and it doesn't even get warm.

No it shouldn't get hot when the gain is on half power check and make sure your power cables are at least 4ga

Umm it can get pretty hot! if you leave it plugged up and tell the person it dosent work you could prb get a new one? did that help?

I'm just guessing, but the unit does give off heat over a long period of time. I think it would just be too hot to have under a plug. The plug and cord would be unsafe there.

1) make sure the amp is in the open ,and not confined to a small place .the amp needs ventilation to keep cool...2) make sure you are using an amp kit rated for that amp .....remember electricity is like water (for example its like trying to use a garden hose in a fire hydrant the pressure will burst the hose the same for the amp small wires will cause the amp to overheat because the battery wires ,both positive and negative are to small so Go BIG on the wiring you will see a difference ...I have done 12 car audio systems and haven't had a problem with the amps my friends wanted installed ...I hope this helps you ...... 1) make sure the amp is in the open ,and not confined to a small place .the amp needs ventilation to keep cool...2) make sure you are using an amp kit rated for that amp .....remember electricity is like water (for example its like trying to use a garden hose in a fire hydrant the pressure will burst the hose the same for the amp small wires will cause the amp to overheat because the battery wires ,both positive and negative are to small so Go BIG on the wiring you will see a difference ...I have done 12 car audio systems and haven't had a problem with the amps my friends wanted installed... » Read More 1) make sure the amp is in the open ,and not confined to a small place .the amp needs ventilation to keep cool...2) make sure you are using an amp kit rated for that amp .....remember electricity is like water (for example its like trying to use a garden hose in a fire hydrant the pressure will burst the hose the same for the amp small wires will cause the amp to overheat because the battery wires ,both positive and negative are to small so Go BIG on the wiring you will see a difference ...I have done 12 car audio systems and haven't had a problem with the amps my friends wanted installed ...I hope this helps you ...... « Show Less

Im pushing 2 12s and I've never had a problem with it getting hot. Good amp for the money

Hi Clay, Based on the usage I give to this amp, I don't think will be a problem. I have connected two 8 ohms speakers and often to highest volume, using the power supply provided, and not meaningful warming up. However, I don't think is good idea to close completely ANY electrical device. Leave a minimal air entry and I don't think you will have problems, using it inside specs.

That's chillin'. I'm running mine at 420watts at 2ohm. There is a general consensus that powering any speaker at 80% will ensure longevity and durability.

I have mine in a somewhat confined space which is concealed with very thin speaker fabric, and yes, it gets hot. It does have a fan, and when the unit gets very hot, the fan noise is noticeable. I'm going to need to find an alternate solution, perhaps an auxiliary lower-noise fan.
