Amps Over Heating

[mmandley]

Is spacing the amps .5"-1" off a carpeted amp rack going to yield a significant improvement in airflow?

I don't know about Significant, but think about yourself.

If your hot and have to sit in the seat in your car, your back is just cooking right? Still sweating like a dog. But if you stand up or at least lean a little forward your back gets some relief of the heat. Same principle.

When i build my amp racks and place my amps, i always use 1/2 stand offs, but i also cut the centers out like this.

All the white sections behind the amps i cut out, just cant find that picture.
