[QUOTE="dipitydoo, post: 7449503, member: 567383"] cooling techniques essentially involve the transfer of thermal energy from high temp to one of lower temp. one way is via metals such as aluminum which have high thermal conductivity. forced air systems are often used in conjunction with these masses of metal to further decrease temperature around the area where waste heat is produced. strickly based on a reliability standpoint (ie, fan), a large heat sink that is capable of properly dissipating the heat generated by the amp would be optimal. however, as amps today become increasingly smaller in size for a given output, some will add fan(s) to further help move hot air away from the amp. if you are concerned about excessive heat in your area, you can always add external fans to help keep your amp(s) cool.
