i understand fans are useful in keeping your amps cool ... i see a lot of people just using them for their sub amps ... i also felt my amps and my sub amp gets a lot hotter than my 4 channel ... do people mainly put fans just on their sub amps or all of their amps?

Any amp that gets hot. It's just that sub amps generally have much more power running through them, so that is more potential for heat.

Alright then i will leave it be with the 100.4. How many fans per amp? Just 1 or 1 for the top and 1 for the bottom of the amp?

Put them on the sides, that's the sweet spot.

So basically where the shorter sides are with the input/outputs, rcas and whatnot correct?

Oh thats what I originally said. I thought you were correcting me. So 2/amp then correct? One ontop one on bottom?

Not on the top, on the side.

You want the fans blowing parallel down the cooling fins. For most amps this would mean having the fans on the ends with the connections. You want one fan to push the air over the amp, the other to pull it from the amp and push it away on the other side.
