[QUOTE="gckless, post: 8414213, member: 635756"] So I’ve got some things to do here, and I need some ideas. Scott from GZ USA was awesome enough to ship me out a new amp. I can’t speak highly enough of the customer service from both him and Brandon. They make well sure that whatever you need, you have, until you’re happy. They’ve done more at this point than any other company has for me. Beyond that, I found out that the fans on the inside of the amp are not enough to overcome the hundred-degree Texas heat. So, I need to figure out the best way to add fans. I would like to keep it to two fans, I have 140mm fans now, one under each amp. I would like to put them underneath the amp, with the bottom covers removed, so that way I keep the clean look on top of the amp rack. With them below you will never know they are there. This may not resolve it, because most of the heat exchange is handled through the fins on the top of the heatsink (the case), but I’m hoping it’s going to be enough. I will be removing the bottom covers of both amps, and I am also able to remove the side panels from both amps. When I say remove the side panels in my options below, I mean the right panel of the left amp, and the left panel of the right amp, so the ones inside. I’ll be keeping the panels in place on the outside so the amps look normal. Now the way my amp rack is, I think I have a couple options: 1. Keep the side panels on, have both fans pushing (blowing up into amp). 2. Remove side panels, have both fans pushing. 3. Remove side panels, have one fan pushing and one fan pulling. What do you think? I’m open to other ideas as well. Or do you guys think I will [I]need[/I] to put airflow across the top of the amps, that just under won’t suffice? [/QUOTE]
