Seicane Head Unit Temperature Test - Is it Getting Too Hot?

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v24tlcimVTE&w=640&h=360]

Watch the video and see for yourself. That was after about a 45 minute commute with Radio and Google Play Music on the entire time... lots of volume, lots of bass... Facebook, Gmail, etc... so what i am saying is it was being used. It was also connected to wifi and bluetooth during that entire period of time.

I don't feel like it's running hot... but curious about others who say that theirs is.

The stereo is a Seicane Model S18JP25 -- http://bit.ly/S18JP25

Here's a link to the Touch Commander SiriusXM receiver I showed in this video: http://amzn.to/2xjbPuh

Android 7.1 10.1 inch 1024*600 HD Touchscreen Radio Head Unit

It comes with a Quad Core 1.6 GHz processor, 16GB of internal memory (expandable with MicroSD or USB storage) and 2GB of RAM.

I was looking for a pure Android (7.1 preferred) head unit that would allow me to tweak it the way I wanted. Let's hope this handles what I need!

It does work with factory Alpine stereo upgrade!

  1. I'm glad you decided to do this test but if you want to do temp check on something...play music at a normal listening volume for just 10-15 minutes then aim that thing right at the dust cap on your speakers and/or sub if you have one to get reading on voice coils. Generally a well tuned system w/o clipping should generally give you a reading in mid 80's-90° and that's at extended listening time. I'm willing to bet you'll get readings in high 90's - 100°+ withing 10-15 min, which is way too hot & if it doesn't fry your voice coil first then heat will demagnetize the driver...just reinforces what I've been trying to warn people of, this unit is a clipped signal playing,, dirty distortion speaker killer.
