Re: Plexi protecting my amps?

4 fans are not needed, and don't use computer fans. They make a special purpose fan for linear movement of air. They are long tubes and move air in a flat motion to keep it moving properly under the plexi. You will need ONE single fan on one side to push air over and out -- that is all. They run anywhere from $5 to $20 and are perfect for this application.

Check out Allied:

Allied Electronics - Products

(There's a pic of what you want at the top, its the long slim fan.) Check on the CFM when buying, and make sure you'll actually be moving air. Computer fans are meant for enclosures, and won't work well in the application you are talking about...

Re: Plexi protecting my amps?

computer fans were just a first thought since they're cheap, can be attractive, and run off 12v, but ill definitely look into what there is out there, especially from allied electronics. Proper airflow would be the biggest priority when it comes to adding fans to it in the first place huh?
