Hey I just wanted to check and make sure that what I plan on doing is ok and wont cause over heating?

ok well I am going to have a 3 Memphis amp system but the component amp's heat sink is slightly scuffed and scratched and I have a 02 1500D and getting a 03 1500D the 02 is polished alum. and the 03 is annoed, so I was thinking about getting the heat sinks cromed, to make them all match and for the bling bling factor , and so if someone saw them they would think they are just shinny no name amps (since I am going to remove the memphis tags) so I just wanted to make sure that the amps will be able to cool off properly with the crome...

the chrome should be fine, but you may wanna add a fan to keep the air moving over them, I'd just put it somewhere unobtrusive.

well I am thinking about building a plexi box, with neons to reflect off the crome, and add a cross over fan system( 2 or 3 fans sucking in cool air and 2 or 3 fans blowing out hot air)... Just an Idea tho...
