Amp Cooling Idea

[fatboytyler]

I'm huge on computers and watercooling and thought, why not try to water cool an amp? I've been running some ideas through my head and feel like I have figured out a few different ways I could do it using CPU (Computer Processors for you nontechy peoples) water coolers.

I was just curious if anyone has seen anything like this?

I plan on doing it to my little RF R1200 over the summer after I upgrade amps to see if my ideas actually work.

That's an awesome idea! I'm not sure if it's completely necessary, but it would be cool nonetheless.

Only problem is, the ones I've seen look like complete **** parts. I do know quality water cooling parts... Then the other ones I have seen have been so over top professionally done. I was just curious as to whether or not any of you guys have had experience with it. Bash the thread if you want, but I would like to see you do a homemade loop for an amp (If you have then hell yea, I wanna see it!).

Something tells me that wouldn't be real cost effective. However, it would certainly be sweet for shows and what not.

could it be done with subs?

Same principle could be applied. Would require some custom fabrication, but I have a few quick ideas pf how it could be done. Only problem is finding a place to mount the radiators with a sub
