Try mounting the amp on the bottom side of the bunk. On warm days you can leave the bunk open so it gets air. Or build a duct like one that goes to a bunk heater with a 3-4" fan to suck cool air in from the sleeper to the amp. We did that on my buddies and the problem was solved.
Anyone have an aftermarket stereo system in the truck?

@nofreetime Your AMP is always going to get hot after it being on for awhile... I've had systems in every car I have owned and that's generally been the case... Your AMP should have a built in fan that you can see from the side that cools it off... Doesn't it? If it does I would check to make sure it is kicking on. Being under the bunk is no different than being in back of a closed trunk like in a car.. Where in your truck is the inverter located?

Another thing you should do is install a toggle switch so that when you don't want the amp on you simply flip the switch an it shuts the power to the amp off...

Enjoy your system while you can. It probably won't be yours for long. -
