[QUOTE="JISINSANE3, post: 8163420, member: 657577"] I will say this, Any amp over 300watt rms, It would be very beneficial to add a simple 12 volt computer fan to it. Preferable high CFM. And this goes for all amps. I was a PC gaming builder before and the cooler you run them the more efficient everything is. You can think its ghetto all you want but bottom line is Your amp will thank you. Fan your amps. Why let them get hot when a fan added will keep them 50 degrees cooler than the thermal. With amps today if there is a problem all most all of them have 3-4 modes of protection to keep them from frying. SMD makes the perfect amp fan. However I would adjust his gauage to kick in around 115 degrees [/QUOTE]
