[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8851499, member: 689267"] Taramps has an EQ/knob combo that does double duty as an EQ and volume control for about $50-$55 if I recall. Built in fans are designed for amps that have little, inadequate or no heat dissipation through their skin (I.e heat sinks). You’ll likely find that amps that are smaller, high output amps use fans as they don’t have the surface area that other design types have. I have a 3000 watt DS18 Hooligan and a EXL 2500.1, and both get warm but it also has large heat sinks that dissipate the heat well. Unless yo are mounting it in an area where an internal fan is amust, an internal fan should not be a consideration for your selection. IMHO, fans make noise that I don’t like. The fans on my Focal FPS 2.300RX are very quiet, but that’s not always the case on some designs. Is the amplifier getting adequate voltage? If you go with the Taramps, they are very voltage sensitive and will not be kind in turn if there isn’t a constant steady flow of voltage.
