Jhunt94 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I posted this in the off topic section because even though it is about amps I didn't feel like it was a very on topic subject to take up place in the amp section. I was browsing through the threads, saw an old thread about water cooled subs, and it brought a question to my mind. If we have water cooled computers then why couldn't we make water cooled amps. I'm not sure if a company has already done this or if it has been tried and failed, but it was just an interesting thought to me. 2007 Ford F-150 Reg. Cab.

Especially if you have to store the amps under a subwoofer box or panel where it's almost enclosed. I'm still not saying it would work, but I could see where it could have purpose. 2007 Ford F-150 Reg. Cab.

tacomaguy1 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Too expensive to design and produce Call up build shop and get an amp that's already proven or design and tool your own Idk anything about water cooling but you'd need reservoir,pumps,hoses Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirill007 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Sure they could do that, but why if proper designed air cooling works just as well? And you need more space for watercooling, a lot more costs and you would need to be able to service it after a few years. You could easily do it yourself if you wanted to (it'll cost a lot of money though). Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
