Amp Cooling

[Nathan Daniel Galen]

I thought about using these if I ever want to mount a big amp in tight spots in the car

^^^ those work great if used properly.

my amp is next to the port so no fan needed

I have one of the crossflow fans. I dont really like it. Doesn't put out enough air.

I always seee people running fans on sundowns and dc's my crescendo 3500 never even gets the slightest bit warm? i mean, not at all. i blast my amp on many 2 hour drives, continuously, and after that i will check to see if my amp is warm, and its never been more than just slightly warm to the touch, not even close to hot. If i had to guess, the amp casing probably feels like about 85-90 degrees

edit:, now it is wired at 1 ohm, maybe the 0.5 will heat them up a lot more

my brother runs 4 aq 2200's at .5 strapped. so .25 ohm each amp and his amps will get bout 103+ after 15 minutes of playing never drop below 13v But they will cook an egg if he demos and plays all day long he has like 6 80mm fans moving air behind his amp rack. It only does a 152.5 on music still need to find the kinks.
