Not knocking the amplifier itself, just stating that it would have better heat dispersion with a different heatsink. And IMHO, look better.

but that's just me...

Really? Do go on.

These amps do fine the the sinks they are provided.. I ran the 2400.1 a few years back, and it was a tank, never got warm ever.

IMO Looks Better Without Endcaps... Btw Decent Amp Got More Specs Then That?

End caps are needed to mount the amp.. I think the amps looks fine, but everyone has different tastes.. At the end of the day though, I wont be riding with my trunk open

Can you post the MSRP?

How the heck are you gonna fit a component amp, this amp, 2 18' HDC3's, a huge box, possibly 2 batteries, and a bottle of nitrous in your trunk?

My trunk has a shelf in the back, which will have the amps on it. The bottle is on the right side of the box on the ledge, and the batt will be on the left one. My trunk is perfect for it actually..

Take a pair of heatsinks.

One uses a few fins or flanges...

One uses a considerable amount more...

Which do YOU think is going to have a better role as a cooling device?

$2500

Very true.

More power to you... literally! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The exile amps cool just fine. I ran my old 2400.1 into the ground at .5 daily. Took it with no issues, and doesnt get warm..

I think a generous amount of aluminum mass would play a pretty significant role is dissipating heat, not just copious amounts of 'flanges' or 'fins' alone. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I was 'dumbing it down' for the 'typical' caraudio.com user to understand.

If you want to get technical, we certainly can.

The high thermal conductivity of Aluminum combined with a large surface area due to the fins or flanges results in a pretty quick transfer of thermal energy to the surrounding air.
