MS2250 Fan shroud?

Does anyone know if this shroud is needed? I mean...will the MS2250 operate properly without the shroud without overheating?

it is needed, otherwise pg wouldn't have bothered with it

So if I run an MS2250 without the shroud, seeing as I can't find it, it will overheat?

If this is the case, then why don't the TA's have a shroud?

the TA's are a differant beast altogether, they are 2ohm mono stable but don't make the power the shrouded ones do at 4ohms mono...

what were you gonna run off it?

The PG built shroud was designed as a way to display the guts of an MS amp. Because you needed to flip the amp upside down, it was important that a fan be introduced in order to help dissipate the heat now that the heat sink was facing down and heat rises. The amps will work fine without the shroud in a normal mounting situation. Air circulation around ANY amp is important. If heat does become an issue, any fan will do the job.
