Whats up everybody, Im going to run an autotek XS900.4 and a XS1500.1..... the 1500.1 will be pushing (3) MB Quart Reference Series Subs and the XS900.4 will be pushing a 2 pairs of Refrence components, 5.25's in the front and 6.50's in the rear, i have a small car, 1986 Honda Prelude 2.0si I want to install these amps in the back seat, where if you fold the seat down, there will be a cutout and the amps will be inside it behind plexiglass, with neon, how many fans do you guys think i need to run, or would i be okay without them?

I would run two .... one taking air in and one pushing air out.... I dont know too much about coooling fans, but thats what I would do, Id make sure that there is enough space between your amps and the seat material/plexiglass so that if you do install the fans they can move air throughout the compartment.

http://www.selectproducts.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/page98.html If you use a type 80 fan (the way I would go) you will only need one in and one out (although you could get away with just 1 in and a vent out). If you go with the other box type fan, then I would suggest 2 in and 2 out. The box fans can be found for about $ 5.00 at any computer repair shop. Also be sure that the fans can breath, and that you do not obstruct the air flow. In the past when I have built amp racks into seats, I have built a concealed intake and outtake grill into the seat for the fans.
