could you not cut some vents in? or wire up some computer fans ? a couple of plain black comupter fans hidden to the back should do the trick

fans could work, i hav thought about it, its just where to mount them.

cutting in vents would defy the whole point of the panel.

i want a clean look, and also security would b better with stuff hidden

id say a couple of black ones right near the back of the seat. at a glance you wouldnt notice them. wire them up from the amp that way they can work off the remote lead and only turn on when the amps do :)

couldnt you cut the holes in the wood put a grill over the fans then cover in fabric? or is that being silly? :-?

JAmes2k :couldnt you cut the holes in the wood put a grill over the fans then cover in fabric? or is that being silly? :-?


Yes that is silly! But if you made up a wooden cover plate and covered that in fabric and then put the plate on a few pegs it would raise it up allowing the flow of air and also would be relatively covert. If made properly you would be able to chuck stuff in the boot and the vents would still work.

Still kind of gets away from what you're planning though, I think.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

2-3 cooling fans would be fine...or 4...2 to blow into the amps and 2 to suck the air out...just put grill or tight mesh over the fans and it will look very discrete...ill gets pics of how we done my managers Ferrari
