Trenton Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Amp over heating..... Not really sure how to install a fan. I talked to a few people about the 12v fans for computer u can buy almost anywhere to blow over my amp.. the top of my amp is like one huge heat sink. I just dont know how run the positive and negitive wiring, can I just wrap that around the my 4 gauge wiring comming from my cap? I have 2005 alpine type x 5.25 componet front tweeter and mid, 2005 6 x 9 alpine type r rear.. 4 channel kenwood 1200 watt amp highs, 2 channel 2000 performace tek, 2f capsitor, 2 channel 4g distrbution block, alpine 9813 head unit 50 x 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Use a relay. When connecting the relay (on mine there is 4 outlets) you connect the positive 12volt source wire (your 4ga) to it. Then another part of the relay you connect your REM wire to it....then another part is your ground, and finally your postive output to your 12volt fan.

SilverZ Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 just mount the computer fan into the pos/neg on the amp not the rim cause you don't want it running all the time if you do that you should be fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Also, where is your amp located? Some spots are worse than others because the amp needs air space to cool and if you have it in a tight spot where its kind of "enclosed" thats prolly not too good of a spot for it.

Yeah it jammed on top of my speaker box and under the back speakers in the car, I have no other choice though, I would like to mount it in my car but its to big and wont fit anywhere else!
