[QUOTE="bump465, post: 8277340, member: 660886"] So i recently upgraded my electrical reserve and now have 1150AH of batteries stockpiled in my car. After doing this i decided to install my old aq2200 and wired it down to .5 I know the amp will get much less efficent and therefore hotter but after letting it pound for ~25 minutes it was almost to hot to touch. Im looking for some drastic upgrade that can remove all this excess heat. I say "drastic" as i have 300watt 120V outlets in my car that i would like to put to use. The amp is located above my spare tire in my trunk so i was thinking of removing the spare tire and the underside of the amp and putting a shop fan in there to blast the **** out it. the idea of a 6 inch can fans push/pull system also crossed my mind to send hot out and cool in. However i feel these solutions are adaquate at best - so my question is does anyone have a fool proof system of keep down the tempature? maybe a liquid cooling kit for a graphics card can be repurposed? Small AC unit? Any new ideas greatly appreciated! Any ideas or input would be appreciated as im looking for the most efficetive cooling method possible, not nessicarily the most practical. [/QUOTE]
