5 Channel amps get too hot on Havazo?

[ROZ]

SWb is right... 1994 wants the amp back
There are a 5 channel amps out that the sub portion of the amp is class D
Put fans on it and call it a day...
If you think you'll over drive the amp, go with a biamped system....

1994 called, they want their amp back.
The stuff I buy at the swap meet says 3,000 watts at 4 ohms, but nothing about 2 ohms?

It has been my experience that putting the high current sub section of the amp into the same housing as the high end just causes phenominal heat. Especially true of boat application where amps are in an enclosure somewhere with no air.
The sub amp should be separate for care-free use.
Anyone that says you don't need fans is either not asking much out of their system or they just don't have a system.

Or, their amps have buil-in variable speed fans :rollside:

Yes, so much the better. However, you still need to get the hot air out and the cooler air in. The biggest problem is air in and out of the container that the amps are mounted in. The amp could have three built in fans, but if they are just circulating the hot and hotter air around, they don't do much good.
One must ventillate the environment the amps are in - was my point.

Yes they do.

I use two of these in the amp compartment.It draws air from the side cuddy cabin area and blows air into the side amp compartment.When I switch those blowers on, its cools almost right away.So far the best idea I seen that works really good.http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cgi...&view_id=39573

6 ch Infinity to power up 4 - 6.5" and 2 - 10" subs, no problem.

Nice blowers! Should work great.

Locogringo has 2 of them... He runs one for the left and the other for the right... each powers a sub
