bad idea or an ok idea

ok so last night i got pissed off because i have my amps mounted on the back of my fold down rear seats and i drive with them down and when i park they go up. well last night the new alpine pdx amp made contact with the terminal plugs for my subs. and now it has a burn mark on it :banghead: :mad: :banghead: so i thought of doing a custom amp enclosure having the top be pexiglass and have it frosted and have alpine across it since i decided to do a alpine system. and then have like 4 fans and atleast one form of cooling ( i was thinking of modifying liguid cooling for a computer to make it cool the heat sink) so is this a good idea bad idea or an ok idea.

as long as the amps are well ventilated i don't see the amp enclosure being a bad idea but thats just me

those PDX amps are VERY efficient, so you should not be having cooling problems unless I am not understanding how the amps are mounted right now. From what I am reading, you could just make a cover for the terminal plugs.

the thing hardly gets warm after an hour or so with the windows down the only times it gets hot is from the sun because it is black.

I guess what I was getting at was if you want to put them in an enclosed amp rack, you don't need a ton of air to cool them.

yea but it gets mad hot in my car but i am getting my windows tinted so that might help. and since it is an enclusure the heat inside needs a place to go.

do a tunnel, put you amps in a row then put 2 or 3 small fans on one side pushing and the smae number of fans on the other side pulling

thats an idea. sadly i need to put car audio on hold for a month because i think i might need a new raditor.

well, you're only really talking about $50 or so for supplies ... the rest is just labor.

yea but i don't have crap for tools so would have to buy as i need them. any way the point of doing this was to hid the burn mark on the amp. but then i remebered that the pdx's are stackable and when i get my new head unit i was looking at getting anohter pdx4-100 for the center speaker.

.... meaning you can put the burnt one underneat, sounds like a plan
