Amp Fans

[candyman206 10+ year member]

I wanted to hook up two big computer fans to the bottom plate of my RF1000bd. I am thinking of cutting a few spots to mount the fans on the bottom of the amp. On one fan I want to have it with the polarity reversed so that one will **** and the other will blow. I thought of using and ACC wire, but I am not sure if this is how every body hooks fans up. Any help will be great. Thanx in advance

There's a web site with the fan config. somewhere. It requires a few things like an automated switch so that they don't drain your battery.

I'll see if I can dig the site up.

Req: "get a relay, and hook two computer fans to the relay and install one fan blowing into the flase floor, and one blowing out
http://www.bcae1.com to learn how to install a relay."

http://www.the12volt.com has a good wiring configuration for fans too.

get a relay and hook all your 12v accessories to that. much safer for your headunit. your rem line CAN break by pulling too much current on it (~2amps even)

how would I do that. I tried to work with relays on my XBOX but I **** at it. I don't understand the different rows on the relay. Will I be able to hook up more than one thing, on one relay? I need power for the fans and my epicenter.

Get a relay, from somewhere like AutoZone. With the relay is a diagram for where the wires should go. Run a 12v+ from the battery or your power wire to the 12+. Use the remote as the "turn on" or whatever it says. You'll need a ground and the other wire is the power that you'll use for fans and such. That's how I have mine run, no problems.
