hey guys im gonna put a system in my car and i got a amp box im gonna do w/ black pexi glass and have the top cut so that the plexi glass looks like da chevy bow tie and i was gonna drill holes in it for some air and i was wonderin would it be possilbe to wire a thermostat type thing to some fans for more air flow and have like a heat sensor on the amp so they could turn on if it got too hot. So what im wanting to know is, is this possible and how would i go about doing it.

Thanks,

Kyle

im attching a pic to show u what i wanna do

 

It's possible, but why not just wire them to turn on whenever the amp is on?

 

ok, how would i go about doing that and wiring it??

 

Get a relay from radio shack. Wire it to the remote turn on from the deck, a hot wire, and ground.

It could probably be done without the relay, but I'm not sure how much that little remote wire can handle.

 

what kind of relay should i get??

 

Just tell the guy at the counter what you're doing, he should be able to get you the right one. I personally haven't done this (yet) since I haven't built my amp rack. Also try searching for 'fan wiring' or 'fan relay' in the audio section. I saw a post that had a link on radio shacks website to the exact relay a few days ago.

 

The easiest thing to do would be to just hook up a relay to the fan so it turns on when the amps are powered up, and runs as long as the amps are on.

 

sent u a email kylem, hope it helps

 

thanks
