Re: cooling an amp (min. Audi content)

I've got an amp mounted upside down in my trunk of my 90.  I never really
had  a problem with it shutting down due to heat until I hooked up all 4
channels and now it is 100+ F  in Texas.  I am gonna get a fan for it,
question is; would it be better to blow air across it, or suck air away from
it, like a radiator fan does?

Assuming that you don't build an optimal plenum, blowing will likely put
more velocity on the fins.  Using some ducting to get the air moving over
all fins would be best.
