Heat

Anyone here use fans during the summer? If so what did you hook them up to? I need 1-3 fans for my set up. Thanks!

So constant power from pretty much anywhere to the relay switch and than use the remote wire to turn them on?

If you use an amp that is designed properly and it is installed properly (good ground and adequate air clearance) and used within its rated load you will never need a fan.

Its grounded perfectly fine, Air clearance might be an issue, and the damn fans on both the 4ch, n the sub amp wont turn on, I have no idea as to why. its set up properly.

What would cause the fans to not work, both amps are brand new.

I'm using 6 fans and a compressed air tank all controlled by a custom proccessor. My amps don't need it, but cooler is better!
