[QUOTE="UPCguy, post: 1276275, member: 564342"] Well, if you are sure it's heat, I would say wrap the duct in the insulation, not the head unit. Because my thinking is that the insulation holds heat in. Like you notice for with a lot of electronic units, look at tops of computer monitors, etc. Most anything electronic has slits or vents of some kind so that heat can get away from the circuits. When you deal with a computer, heat will fry a computer if you let too much get to it. So you put fans and what not in there to pull that heat off. You will probably increase the temp of the head unit if you wrap it in insulation. Could you get some kind of thin insulation to wrap your ducting in and then maybe rig a fan or 2 behind the head unit to pull heat from off the unit? Just some ideas. [/QUOTE]
