[QUOTE="Hydrastas, post: 1870461, member: 566848"] I run my amp at it's full potential right, so after 30 minutes it gets too hot and shuts on and off from the thermal protector. It has no fan, so if i did put like a computer fan on it would i need to cut a hole in the amps covering, or would just running the fans air over the outside of it be ok? I know that it's not going to stop the problem, it would be much like control burning a house, just spraying the flames that try to catch the trees in the yard on fire and not the source of the flames. The amp has a heavy metal outer case, and im not sure if any of the small electronic fans i've got can fit inside it completley, so would i need to whip out a torch to cut an outline for this fan? Or could i just take off the top of the amp which would allow it to cool off much faster by itself? [/QUOTE]
