USA Post Number: 904 Registered: Oct-07 | ok im going with 2 fans blowing the same direction bcuz the push pull method is really only moving 50% of the air u think it is. now should i go with this diagram or vice versa of what is pictured for maximum cooling effects already purchased to fans with cool blue leds lol.

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5147 Registered: Jul-06 | Cause it looks cool....... that looks like a cool project Dwight I want mad pics when its done  One suggestion: I'd have the fans blow outward and pull air in though the vents. I find that to be more effective, also that's the way most computer power supply fans operate. |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 1613 Registered: Mar-06 | I would have 2 blowing in on one side, one over each amp and 2 on the other side sucking. That way air is going straight across the amps  |

Silver Member Username: Mj23dynastySome where 12 wangin o..., The Mighty J... USA Post Number: 908 Registered: Oct-07 | No I did my research it says tht the push pull method only moves half of the air and makes the fans work twice as hard bcuz they are opposing each other | |
|
Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 1614 Registered: Mar-06 | I would think it would cut the work in half seeing as the fan in the back is pushing the air through the second one and the second one is pulling it through the first one... About only getting half the air, that may be true but logic would make me think it would be easier on the fans | |

Bronze Member Username: GignmofoPost Number: 64 Registered: Jul-05 | MJ That all depends on position of the fans. Think about a cyclone or hurricane opposite sides of a hurricane are blowing different directions, so a lot of factors need to be determined before you can just pick one. You could make a clear plexi version of you box and experiment with airflow inside of the cabinet some people with put a small pinwheel if they don not have a meter. | |
