Quick speaker question

[williams23]

I have a question I'm currently using harbinger also 15
Yesterday I had one connected directly to my laptop via 3.5mm to RCA and I noticed that the amp in the back is hot I've never noticed it before, my question is, is this bad for the speaker or is it normal to get hot at some degree? Thank you

amps get hot, you're probably fine. Keep checking it while it's in use to get a sense for how hot it normally runs.

It's more likely because Harbinger is a (no offense) cheaper brand. Some powered speakers run hot, some don't. I've heard that some Mackie SRM450's get so hot you can barely touch it.
