Amp rack question

[SouthPole1989 0]

ok i am pending the idea of having an amp rack instead of a backseat ( it depends on the qoute i get) and since the amp's would be in the open i was thinking about totally enclosing it and having the top back pexiglass so since i think to think totally through i was looking at ventliation for it since has been hot out latley ( i live in florida) and i am wondering what others with amp racks have used to. first i was thinking 12v fans but then i thought that i would need a exit hole for the air to move out. then i started looking at Liquid Cooling for computers since computers are 12v. and that is all i could think of.

Cooling fans. 2 facing in, 2 blowing out to keep things circulated well depending on size of fans.

I've seen several done this way, but I have no idea w/ the computer cooling thing.

Push-Pull is a internet car audio phenomenon. Do either a push, or pull configuration, not both. HVAC systems don't do it, so doing it in this application makes no sense either.

I recommend not totally enclosing the amplifiers though... unless you can give it a couple inches of room all around the amp.

You can do a push pull, you just need either more push than pull or more pull than push

But why waste time and money on 2 different size fans when you can get 2 of the same and have better results ?

What car? Maybe you can re-route a couple of A/C vents. Some vans and SUV's have rear A/C units too.

That would be the cheapest/easiest imo.

what if i got amps that had fans in them and put holes in the pexi glass ( i woud use a dremel drill to put in a design.) and it is a 96 saturn sl2 so the a/c thing would work. plus i don't really run the a/c. it makes the car feel like it has no balls.

Amps need the heatsink to be able to have air flow or lots of it in the area for it to sink the heat to for cooling... the onboard fans are supplemental.
