michigancapri92 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 OK I have my amps in my trunk like this And I have the sub amp on the top for some air flow but the amps can get a pretty warm after long playing time and would like to get some cooling for the amps, my problem is that the trunk is sealed off ... fans alone would just move around hot air ... any ideas on other options of cooling other than just fans?

Bump4life Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 look at meades build. do you have those vents in your car? i know i do and even putting a fan on your amp will still help. the air around the amp will still be cooler than the amp Quote Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

michigancapri92 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Trunk had no vents and meads trunk sparked my interest for better cooling I'll look into some fan ideas .... actually taking apart some o2 concentrators at work and they have some huge 12v fans on them :-) but still keep the other ideas coming !!

RooTxBeeR Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Regardless, hot stale air is way worse than hot circulated air.

9515ROB Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 buy one of them old school liquid cooled amps and problem solved. haha No but its gonna be difficult to get fresh cool air in there. Fans would be your best bet. Also try putting some spacers under the feet and take the back plate off Quote - 1998 Ford Mustang - Time to rebuild. 4 15s and alot of power TEAM DTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
