very nice. how do these fans work? are they 12v?

Yeah the fans are 12v

Fused relay box. This will go into the covered rear section and be hidden. Hopefully all this wiring is right //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Carpeted the right wall

Nice work. I'm going to steal the project box idea for the relay when I do mine. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Nice Rack...just wondering out much of a difference would that little fan make? I mean I know its the size of a comp fan but how hot would those amps get with/with out the fan?

Not even sure if that Alpine gets hot...I haven't hooked it up yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I'm basically doing this as a precaution and to at least get some air movement and ventilation throughout the rack. What I don't want is hot air buildup inside. I could've put 2 fans on each side but I researched it and read there are diminishing returns by adding another fan...it won't help move that much more air than the first. We'll see...

Lazy day today, not much done. Sanded down the wood filler that covered the wire goove, carpeted the right outside wall and applied chrome edge molding to the top edge. Not sure if I'm feelin' the chrome though...maybe it's fighting the brushed aluminum? Gotta think about this one. Opinions?
