Amp enclosure.....please help

[rctecinc 10+ year member]

Ok what I want to do is build an amp rack enclosed. I want to add a neon light, some fans, and some dist. blocks for power and ground, also my power cap that has a volt meter will be included in this.

This enclosure will also house two amps...I want to know what should i look out for and how should i mount the fans and how many should i mount to keep these amps the coolest. I have a relay that i bought to relieve the strain from the head units remote turn on, but I'm not really sure how to wire all this.

I'm looking for people that have experience with this to give me some ideas or send some pics of their past projects to help me get a better understanding for something like this......thanks in advance.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Scroll down to the "Amp Rack" page for information on the fan placement and such, then scroll further down to the relay page, he goes pretty in-depth into using the remote turn-on lead to switch on various items.

hey thanks for the link......but i'm very familiar with that site. I go there often. I want to know how many items can use off the relay? I plan on using three amps, x number of fans, a neon light, a power cap, and a x- over. I don't know how to hook all these things up. I don't want to over load any thing, and that site just shows how to hook up a fan and a neon light thats all.
