Amp storage

Sign in to disble this ad
Is there any harm to an amp head inside a rack stored at, say
115F degrees. I'm sure it's of no harm to speaker cabinets, but
my rig spends a good deal of time in the back of my pickup under
a locking hard cover, (In North Texas). It gets pretty hot in there.

115 F is kind of low for a car or truck in the sun

But these things aren't alive and need to stay alive
You won't have a problem

Heat is actually a bigger problem for speakers than amps, because the glue on speaker components can melt (in some cases depending on type of glue) in a hot vehicle or garage.

My tube amps get hotter while playing bass than they ever do in my car.
