Speaking of the headunit heating up, a few years I ago I had an old Sony CD Player (those old Sony's use to heat up ALOT) - I discovered that by removing or disabling power to the built-in amplifier output IC's GREATLY reduced the heating problem (This only works if you're using external amplifiers driven by the line outs). Not saying you should do or try this because most head units nowdays do not really heat up that much as those did.

Did it for some friends too back then and everyone was happy.

If you decide to do what pcguy760 said, then make sure it doesn't screw up the warranty.
That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

I worked at a Memphis dealer and 200 watts is really not enough power for a PR124.  At a minimum, I would run the Memphis MC250d mono amp.  It is rated at 250watts x 1 @ 2 ohms. I had a JBL 301.1 running my PR124D and 300 watts was a perfect match for that woofer.
