Fans are the best way, get two, one to place cool air on your amp, and one to **** out hot air.

will cooling fans help ur amp put out more power, or will it help **** less power from ur batterie/alternator? juust curious what advantages u get out of cooling the amp more.

it comes a lot from the fact the any time the weather gets hot so do they. It sucks cuz they dont have a lot of air flow and will shut down.

lol good point, but i just find it funny that we are going into fan displacement numbers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif but it was necessary
