the box isant the prob (its the parts inside them) The parts get hot and make no contact with the box so heat cant be transferred (like a CPU does when a heatsink is attached to it)

This is the only way air can enter or escape the box


But remove the top and air can circulate quite a bit better

But care needs to be given not to short out any of the contacts..
