Toady Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 I was ordering some parts for my installation, and i saw a section that contained many different cooling fans, from the one's meade used, to crossflow fans. Are fans worth the money Quote
ISO Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 If your amps are shutting down from getting too hot then they are very worth it.

Toady Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Posted December 22, 2009 Does it help out the subs also from overheating?? Quote
Decaf Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 do u believe in overkill? basically the ideal situation would be ur a/c going into ur amp a cold amp is more efficient and will keep the amps components lasting longer is it needed? likely no, but at times (like meade) it is needed Quote
keepinitloud Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 if your amp or amps are goin to be covered up like meads then yeah you might want to consider it but if you have some space around your amp or amps then you don't need them the amps do a good job of cooling themselves if they are overheating check to see if there is something up against the cooling fins or you have an electrical problem Quote 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1
ISO Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Does it help out the subs also from overheating?? LOL if your subs are over heating then you have other issues, like you are trying to push them too hard. To answer your question it will not help your subs.

Class A/B amps run hotter than Class D subwoofer amps and there are still quite a few Class D amps that have fans built in or don't have a fan and still need one. Plain and simple, if your amps are shutting off and they are very hot to the touch when they shut off then you most likely need a fan on them.
