My amp used to overheat after a couple hours use because my seats are so low. Have not had an issue since purchase. Very good product!

I needed some air circulation under my seat where I ran my SSL EV5000D. I could not mount it so I boxed it in some scrap plastic counter top. The fan barrel one end spins without protection and will stop if something is pressing on it. It took me 5 minutes to cut and glue. I recommend Boxing it in something if you have to. Mounting it by the feet next to the amp on a solid surface is the ideal set-up. Keeps the air flowing and was easy to wire. Now I tried wiring the positive wire to the remote connect on the amp (+) and I used a self tapping screw to the body for a ground (-). Tah dah!! it works and turns on and off with the head unit....... I have to add I don't know the long term effects of this way to power it. Very convienent if you don't care about your gear..... I may be too trepidatious but, I spent some good earned money on my amp and already fried a sub getting to my ideal set-up. So, I had happened to have an old fog lamp switch that was unused in my dash. I ran the hot wire (+) to the switch, the switch (+) to the battery (+). Now I have the fan on only when I want it. Better used only for summer months around here. Northern IL is cold enough 7 months or more out of the year. Good little fan that moves the air around under my seat well. My only debate before purchasing was getting a longer version before. This one does the job well enough and gives me some confidence on the longer rides with the radio pumping. I run my amp heavy because I have an Alpine 12D2 ran at 1 ohm and it loves it. The amp does get pretty warm after 15 minutes in summer. If you run an amp bridged or at full blast, whatever ohm you choose, it will get hot. This is not a bad investment to save your gear.

Bought this fan because my amp was overheating and shutting off. It didn't help the problem. Its a nice fan, well built not cheap and a good price, just not enough cooling power.

Mounted under the fairing on a Harley Davidson to cool the amp off and protect from thermal shutdown.
Pros: Nice and powerful and compact Cons: Could use longer power/ground wires

What can i say?? well its very quite. It produces alot of air for my amp. looks very durable. keeps my amp like 20-30 degrees cooler.
cons to short of wire HINT. you can hook this fan to the rem (positive 12v) of your amp and the ground point (negative) of your amp and if you do that you do not need a switch since the fan will turn on when your amp does.

I purchased this fan for a science experiment because i needed good airflow in a narrow space. This worked great and i was pleasantly surprised with how much air it moved while staying very quiet.
The construction is very solid, almost everything is metal. The rotor on it seemed slightly unbalanced, but that didn't matter for me.
