During the summer, the amp is getting really hot. I plan to custom a set of fans for the amps.
I'm looking for a Heat/Temperature sensor, it will either tap or mount on the amp heatsink/chasic. When the Amps is reached to a certain degree, the fans will automatically turn ON, and cut off when the amps temperature is cool.

Anyone have done this before ??

An NTC thermistor would probably work nicely with a pc cooling fan.

You just need to find one with the right resistance and temperature activation points... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor has a good general guide about them...
