I know airflow is important around amps to help keep them cool, but how do you keep airflow with enclosed racks? I've seen a few amps mounted flat, with MDX and carpet all the way around them, with a plexiglass cover. But how do you keep the amps cool without the open airspace?

Usually there are fans under the structure to draw in fresh air and another fan to draw the hot air out. Even if there are not fans built into the structure, some amps come with fans built into the heatsink there fore all you need is vents on the side or bottom of the amp rack to draw in or vent air.
