Amp Box Wiring

[Thomas Nicolas 10+ year member]

i have plans to make an amp box..

the amp box will be 19" x 13".

the top of the box will be plexi. and will sit either on top of the sub box or in front of it..

there will be 2 small neons on the inside of the box...

question is, my amp has a built in fan, so do i still need to put a fan on each end of the box for ventilation?

my other question is..

if i use 2-4 fans...can i power the fans and neons off of the power wire from the amp?

how can i wire it?

any diagrams?

ideally you like the fans to be on a switched source so you should use the remote wire to your amp to trigger a relay that will power the fans and the remote wire for the amp....

i realized after i posted this that the remote wire is 12v..so i run it to a relay, or directly.?

run it to a relay, then power fans/trigger amp off the relay
