Boon Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 most amps work best in about 65F. so if they go too low it wont be a good thing. The FETs work much much much better at like 0 degrees Check out the datasheets for some big FETs, the current handling at 75 degrees C (which is the spec they build around) is usually ~1/3 the handling at 0.

finkster Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Like many of the major car audio companies, I'm sure that this has already been brought up in their design room. Just like RF and their "Bright Idea" thing, I bet somebody already submitted somthing similar to that for a cooling idea. But I still want to see how this does in real life, and i agree with B, you are a smart ass dude Quote DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living
Neo_frog Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 I think it's a pretty nifty idea nonetheless. I'm interested in seeing how they perform.

Forevrbumpn Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 Well, if its not the best idea to cool amps with, well, maybe I will line my fireplace with these, and use the heat to power my TV ;-) They also act as a power source too Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
