Cooling fan for amp?
I'm plan on mounting my amp in the spare tire location with a plexiglass covering it. I need to find some sort of cooling fan that can actually move enough air to be effective. I need something that looks good and works good. Any ideas? Links? 
My local audio shop said those square type of fan from radio shack won't move enough air. Is that true?

im using 2 CPU fans(12volt DC brushless), i belive they are 5 1/4" across all black. I used very small tabs of clear silicone on each corner to secure them down. You must use a relay though, or else you run the risk of buring up your remote line. since the install my sub amp has NEVER shut down due to overheating!
You can buy these at BestBuy for $10 each or at RadioShack for $15 each.
what kinda amp are these goin on?

RELAY:
85 = Ground (chasis ground)
30 = 12volt input (12volt constant power source, fuse block and or amp power line)
86 = input from radio (use the amp turn on lead off your radio for this, blue/white wire)
87 = output (this line will be your new remote turn on for the amp, as well as the power (+) for the fans)
hope that helps!
