u know how they have water coolant to make p.c.'s extremely efficient and keep cooled down

can that be done to an amp. keep it ultra-cooled and very efficient. this may be another dumbass scheme of mine for this period of time.

But would it work?

Bazooka has been there, done that. And it is fale.

I remember some one doing in the European sq world doing this

it would be pretty crazy. never heats up. crazy efficiency

PPI had water cooled amps back in the day i believe.

Some *** company has one now. And a water cooled sub.

This.

Also, it's not worth it. The electronics, in any reliably built amp, are made to operate within the temperature ranges they get to.

liquid cooling ELECTRICAL equipment just doesn't seem like the best idea to me... Sure it is probably "safe" but there is always one person who does something stupid and then next thing you know McDonalds has to put warnings on their fukkin coffee...

The need just isn't there with audio amps. Solid state stuff doesn't get that hot in a normal amp...and directly-heated tube amps are just air-cooled, most of the time.

Water cooling has been done for years for RF amps in commercial radio/TV stations.

go to youtube and look up scott bulwada's IASCA presentation.

he had water cooled amplifiers.

check it out there

Heres one thats water cooled

the idea is great but sry

in computers, the tubes crack and break all the time and good bye to your mega computer

in a amp, that is moving and constantly moving around there is no way they would last, you would have to modify some crazy indestructible tubes, also the water would freeze in winter
