Owner had a receiver go out due to being in a closed cabinet without any ventilation. New receiver is ordered. We are going to put 2 120mm fans with variable speed control in each side of the cabinet, that way the receivers can be still enclosed, but we can pump cool air into the back of the cabinet, on both sides. You'll see, pics to come.
Here's where I started, after some of the stuff being ripped out so we could access the wiring. Part of this process will also be re-routing all the HDMI cables into the new main receiver, and using it as the central control point, instead of the television. Project is just starting. More pics to come, plenty more hopefully. Pics may look like Buck took them quickly so he could work fast, just FYI.
The main receiver powers a 5 channel surround sound with single subwoofer.
Second receiver powers 6 sets of speakers in various locations throughout the house. Errrr guess who gets to test everything, ME!
New receiver is the Denon:
Other receiver rarely used, therefor it didn't overheat, we do have a wire short or signal cable short of some kind, gotta figure that out:
Overall cabinet:
Some tools:
Left side wires for the 5 channel surround:
