Will I need a fan?

[Dtowncats 10+ year member]

I will be making an amp rack with a flush mount cover soon just big enough for my amp and a distro block. It will be going in my hatch and the amp is a JBL BP180.2. How would I power the fan/s if I ever decide to use any? Would I just use the remote turn on lead? Thanks.

You probably wont need any fans since its just 1 amp but if you choose to use one then you can run it off the remote wire.

So the space won't be an issue? It will be totally enclosed besides the top.

Nope.

I have 2 amps totally enclosed in MDF and plexiglass ( false floor)

They never over heat.

Although, i will eventually make holes for the air to escape from under each amp
