Hypex FA 253 Plate Amp Getting Extremely Hot and Turning Off

[Trdat]

45° C, where?
At the heatshink? That's nothing for and amp.

On the faceplate facing outside.

The only thing I can think of (apart of the obvious other said above) is that maybe the amp has somehow loosen from its heatshink and the output devices do not convert heat properly. If not faulty in the first place of course.

(what are these thin cables at the back? Signal? you may want to twist them, the way they are is the most no-no there is)

I'll check it out.

The cables are the speaker cables.

The all time classic:

Do I just twist the wire all the way to the speaker output? Is that it...

Or there is something more to it...?

Okay yes and make sure the speaker wires are not coming out the same side as the mains output. Got it. Thanks.

And it hasn't shut down, it seems like adding those holes and putting it upright has done the job.

Thanks for everyone's help.
