bigmescan Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) just cool your trunk with an ammonia based cooling system............oh wait that shits expensive........we use to wrap co2 lines around aluminum boxes to keep certain items cold.....i would think co2 would be the way to go.........maybe not directly on amps or subs but in the general area of where equipment would be.....if a sub can take 5000wts i dont think cooling the sub is the way to go more than making sure you are getting the cleanest signal from the amp and keeping it cool while doing it........maybe im dumb but i just always thought clean power equals saving your subs from blowing to shit...........but correct me if im wrong....

n8ball2013 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 but they did it. I dont think it was around very long. Their gear was pretty meh. They did market triangle woofers at one point so........ but the idea is there. I never knew anyone that ran them.

RickyFriery97 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 rob (caraudiofreq here on the forum) did a build a long time ago with liquid cooled subs and maybe amps if i remember right Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGrey13 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 not really wanting to read a full page of comments but yes, liquid cooling is possible, but for the overclocking of the amp... i would say no, in the way of overclocking a computer. now you could upgrade some things and mod the internals but an amp can only push so hard until it clips or you run out of power supplying it which would cause clipping/distortion. sorry if this was said but im too lazy to read a full page of comments at the moment.

8ight Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Oh cool, another computer geek like me! I've got more CPU-Z validations than you can shake a stick at, and all the eraser coated motherboards to show for it! OT: Not sure how you would get water to the voice coil, I have seen people run water through the tubes on the old HCCA cheater amps before.

HHR Ed Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 but they did it. I dont think it was around very long. Their gear was pretty meh. They did market triangle woofers at one point so........ but the idea is there. I never knew anyone that ran them. They had it up until 2003 I think. I was an installer at Circuit back then and installed a few of them. We also had a guy on the local dB Drag Scene with a bunch of Bazooka woofers in a wall and all liquid cooled up. Was decent for a budget product setup. Good thing I am already working on NO2 cooled woofers, Muwahahaha!

CW06Silvy Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 As far as woofers go, I would make a special motor and basket assembly. I would install 2 sets of air check valves (one in the pole vent of the magnet, the other between the magnet and the spiders) Then I would take a small condenser coil and put it over the pole vent of the magnet. When the woofer would move forward, the upper check valves would close and create a vaccuum within the woofer for the cool air to be sucked in from the condenser through the pole vent check valve. Then, when the woofer begins to move backward, the upper check valves would open (air presssure would force them) and the pole vent check valve would close and remain closed to force warmed air out the upper check valves. Repeating motion would move air through the woofer. As far as the amplifier goes it is going to be much harder. You would have to make some sort of self-controlled power supply that involves a variable transformer that is controlled by the amp. The power supply would first have to chop the DC input power into an AC power source, then it would go through a variable transformer that would step up the voltage (depending on needs) and then this new voltage would have to be rectified back into a DC power source. Once you do this the voltage input to the business end of the amplifier would be much higher, and the transistors that help amplify the signal would have a much higher peak amplification. Once you do all this and install heavy-duty transistors and double up the leg connections, they would have to be basically dipped in a di-electric paste and placed into a custom c&c heatsink that would circulate the coolant directly over the transistors and cool the amplifier. Long story short---this is gonna cost a lot. Quote 2006 Silverado Ext.

snafu Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 PPI did the same thing with their Art series of amplifiers back in the day. Liquid cooling was an option. I was the Bazooka rep in Texas when they released the triangle woofers, NOS bottle subwoofer, and liquid cooled amplifiers. All seemed like really great ideas at CES that year, but none seemed to catch on. Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!
