How hot are amps and speakers supposed to get?
I'm just making sure because I pretty much had my speakers cranked for about half an hour. No subwoofer, just Focal components up front and Infinities in the back, all 6.5".
When I got home I felt the amp and it was extremely hot, way too hot to touch. Same thing with the magnets on the speakers. No burning smell or anything, just really hot. Is that normal?

If your amp gets so hot that you can't touch it, you need to look into some ventilation / make sure you are running it at the right ohm load.
As long as it's not gone into protection then it technically is fine but it shouldn't get so hot.
