[QUOTE="stones, post: 1029060, member: 540734"] This is gonna sound crazy but... Heres an idea for an insane cooling system. Build a tank to house the amp, fill it with cooking oil, throw the amp in. Cooking oil does not conduct electricity so the amp can be completely immersed and not short out, the cooking oil will wick away the heat and release it on all sides of the container. Some people have actually done this with the motherboards of their PC's to keep the processor cool. The tricky part is the nospill tank design and making amp adjustments after everythings installed(messy). I would love to see it done, I bet it would get high points for install creativity at comps. Heres a pic of a PC mother board immersed in mineral oil [IMG]http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/3909/dsci00058rd.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
