putting amp in a box: good or bad?
I want to put my amp into a wooden box for protection against bumps,
scratches, ect. The amp has a fan in the middle of its top. If I dril a big hole in the middle top of the box and also small holes on the sides for ventilation it would work right? |

I had a friend who did that....he also put little 3" 12v case fans from a
computer in the box to help with air flow. His worked fine. Jon Oregon "JohanWagener" wrote in message ... I want to put my amp into a wooden box for protection against bumps, scratches, ect.

This will work OK. Just make sure you have air flow over the amp. One way
to do this is mount a fan blowing in on one side and another pulling air out on the opposite side. The whole idea it to get hot air away from the amps heat sink. I had three a/d/s/ amps mounted under a false floor in my trunk for over a year without them over heating or shutting down. I created a wind tunnel that drew fresh air in and pushed it out the other end. The amps ran cool and happy. "JohanWagener" wrote in message ...
