I also did that in the bed of my truck... Works well to say the least.. Lol My 2 chans would Thermal protect without the fan... They have yet to protect!

Just gonna throw it ur there, ac is not moisture in the air. Air conditioning also "dehumidifies" it dries out the air. The concept of ac is not pushing "cold" air it actually removes or absorbes heat from the air. If you had very cold air blowing directly onto a warm or hot metal surface that mixture could form condensation.

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.....

Thanks man.... just cant go wrong with Ce Auto... At the Op, good luck with what ya do, and show us some pics.....cheers man

i have two bc 3500s stacked directly on top of each other in the trunk of my car behind my wall and they have yet to protect.

They get hotter from the weather than from playing music on them. and i live in florida its pretty much 90 outside 3/4 of the year.

but to each there own if you think you need them go for it but i doubt you would have issues.

ok that makes me feel better. I'm in Indiana so it's not too bad here but its going to be 95 this weekend and I plan on breaking them in this weekend so I was just worried about them getting too hot in the back. I'm actually gonna finish the install tomorrow. But I'll post a build log when it's all said and done.
