would a cd player getting to hot ever cause skipping?

Just came back from a road trip - and noticed that my alpine 7894 gets HELLA hot. I don't even use the internal amp - so i'm not exactly sure why it seems to get so hot, but sometimes it seemed as if it'd be skipping more when it was hot. Although, this coulda just been my mind sayin that.

I've owned tons of /////Alpines and still own one, when they get hot they actually never skip. As stated when they're cold thats where the problems occur.
If your HU is getting extremely hot, perhaps un install it, and look into giving it some breathing holes or venting it somehow, because it should get warm but not hella hot.

Funny, My kenwood does the opposite. The colder it is the easier it skips. The dead of the winter is the worst and the heat of the summer is best for my HU.
