Installing MS1000 acrylic side up... recommended?

Post by rush1 »

Hi all :D

I am about to embark on my install of my MS1000TA. I would like to install it acrylic side up, however as I read on a manual it is not recommended, since the heat will "cook" the amps component.

I thought of installing a couple of fan underneath the rack to help cool it down, is it a good idea?

Need the input for it... thank you for your kind input guys :D

Cheers,

As long as u don´t use both sides on 2 Ohms bridged u should be fine without fans too, but it is always a good idea to install cooling fans to keep the amp´s temperature down! Nothing wrong with that! :wink:
