Will my amp stay cool enough behind wall?


Recommended Posts

Do this, 4 on each side pulling air across the amp, Berger did this on both of my cactus 12ks

^^^ Do that.

Don't do the A/C idea. A/C has moisture in the air and it will condensate on your amps and most likely blow them or throw them into protect.

so having the ac on in my truck is bad for my amp since it's in the cab of my truck? He doesn't have to put the a/c duct directly on top of the amp....just entering the space back there to keep the temp down

Alpha,.. that is wicked nice.... i still think the OP will be ok with what im understand he is doing... Id get it rolling,.... and see what happens... and go from there..

Shit,.. forgot what i really wanted to say. If you end up going the fan, or multiple fan route.... check out Ce Auto supply here... I use one of Tony's deluxe remote kits... uses a top of the line relay, is KISS (keep it simple stupid) to hook up and use.....and its perfect in every way... it will (safely) turn on a ba-gillion amps/fans/leds/you moms waffle maker/ whatever.....

Directing the vents/cool air in the general location of the amp is fine. Putting the vents with the air shooting directly onto the amp would cause a condensation problem.
