cooling options for my amps?
ok this is my plan...
im going to have 4 amps. they will all be in the boot, behind the wall, so no air circulation will be getting back there. my amps on the bottom have 2 vents that push hot air out of the amps, and there's a vent on the top of the amp that brings cool air in. im going to put 2 fans under the amp where the hot air pulls out, with the fans sucking air out, and run a pvc pipe somewhere where the hot air will blow.
problem is, i can put fans to suck cool air in, but from where? bring air in from outside? should i mount 2 big fans somewhere up front sucking air from the front cabin, going through 2 pipes on the sides of my wall, and the pipes blow the cool air into the boot area?
i would route a/c vents back there, but when the system is on, i cant use the a/c becuase it kills my voltage too much.

On to the air, I would put a couple small vents from the front of the box to the rear and fan then to pull the air. Even if it's 95 up front, it's still cooler then the rear will be and you need air movement.
