head unit overheating

ok i got a '94 ford explorer. i put in a blaupunkt san jose reciever. i found out much later that blaupunkt head units are notorious for overheating. so i ended up burning out the cd motor and having to send it in for service. 4 weeks and $120 later i get it back. all is well and good till a week later and the motor burns out again. it is currently out for service again. i get it back in about a week. i desperatly dont want this to happen again. so can you guys give me any advice on cooling it? i looked through the site and couldnt find anything. if there's an article, please give me a link to it. any advice on developing a cooling sytem would be much appreciated. thank you.

I would say at the expense that it is costing you to have you head unit fixed that you should just invest in a new one honestly. As far as Blaupunkt having problems with over heating I have never experienced this. I have installed several hundred into customers cars and have never had this problem.

thanx for the advice. but i thought i'd better clarify. i was an idiot and bought the deck on ebay. so when it went out and got repaired, i got a surprise. they wouldn't give it back to me because it wasn't under warranty as it was bought on ebay. i didn't plan on spending $120 i had to. this time around the service was free cause it was their fix that broke. so yeah, you're right. i should have spent the money on a new one but i didnt. now i'm looking for a way to keep it from breaking again.

it sits about 8" above the heating/ac control unit. and during the winter (in rochester) it got pretty hot. and as it shares the same airspace as teh reciever, which was also getting hot, that whole area was  a furnace. i expect a similar problem in the summer. either the weather will be too hot and raise the ambient temperature. or i'll have the ac running and the control unit will again be hot. so what i'm looking for is a way to coll down that area or at least the case of the reciever. those fans sound like a good idea but i need more info. where to mount them on the deck? how to properly exhaust them and the such. the wiring won't be a problem for me so no need to lecture there. just information on the  placement and attachment of the fans would be most helpful. thanx again.
