are there problems with overheating with this? Also will it protect a standard car stereo sufficiently.

Hey, Chris; The answers to both of your questions are pretty straight forward... 1) My case came with a sheet stating the capacity per channel, (I THINK it was 40 Watts, but am not sure). My head was five Watts over specs, but I do not go max 24/ 7 and I have not even smelled hot plastic. Of course, there has to be adequate cooling air available. 2) The case is designed pretty well, and the rest of your protection will come from the care you take while you install the hardware.Hope this helps you out... now I will get back to waiting for the s**w to melt up here in "Eerie", Pennsylvania. (It is a censored four letter word to me!)

If it had a fan I think I would have heard it by now. I have never had an overheating problem, even when my car is in the sun.

I thought about that before I got it, but A/C won't hurt your phone. When the heat is on in my car it usually vents out of the bottom by my feet. The only time I wouldn't use it is if I had the defroster on, when heat comes out of the vents at the top where the phone would be mounted. I think the product is worth it, and that was a good question!

Yes, that is what I own and we have had no problem with this item, be forewarned the heat shield was a little off. I would not recommend cutting it because that is what protects your plastic/rubber components in that area,we used a rubber hammer to bend in into the correct shape and my car has no problems! Idles better and passed emissions. I feel this was a great find for me and definitely recommend it.

So far I've had no issue - will say that when I've been at risk of a strong thunderstorm I've covered it with a contact wrap to help shield it (particularly so it doesn't run into the ports in case road vibration caused the rubber covers to come loose) - but that's probably me being ultra cautious versus the product requiring it.

To be fair engine compartment may be warm, but it should be fine.like insulation. You can layer it. Best to let the sun warm it. I use it on my trunk lid for my speakers. ..use a thick millimeter

None. I use it in my car as well as into my computer and have had zero issues.

I wouldn't leave any of my electronic devices (laptop, phone, etc) in a car for hours in either the cold or extreme heat. Not only can this affect the device, but it will also affect the battery life. This product definitely isn't designed to protect against extreme temperatures. Its main function is to prevent your laptop's external casing from being scratched while it is inside a backpack or other carrying case.

it should do just fine. if you experience overheating get you a little cooling fan for it.

Offhand, I have had it in my car which generally parks outside and during the summer, which has reached to 90+ degrees at time, I have not had any issues with the product.

No. I have not had any issue with the device overheating and I run with it in 100+ degree temps.

Nope no problems at all. Never had a problem with overheating...been using this case for over a year.

I would advise against it...while there might not be a problem at moderate levels, the amp should have sufficient area available for heat dissapation, in order to prevent overheating. So, if you can avoid it Eduardo, I'd do so. :)

Hi, I've already used for my bicycle, motorcycle and car. But, it was not made for frequent use and if it use continuously for more than 5 minutes, it will get hot.

I have not had an issue with this unit overheating. I have taken it from NYC to London, to Sri Lanka to Malaysia, and no problems. It works fine and charges my phone over and over again before having to recharge the Universal External Unit.

My computer is about 6 months old and doesn't overheat frequently, so it's not the biggest problem for me right now. If you have a laptop that tends to overheat, it may be a problem because the case has no vents. Unless your case is closed, there is a pocket of space at the spine of the case that might let some heat escape. But on occasions where my computer overheats, I usually take it out of the case, so to answer your question: no, overall this case isn't really built to prevent overheating but I haven't experienced much overheating with it on my laptop. Hope that helps!
