>>If I had your room, I'd do whatever it takes to install this and be done

Isn't that Dennis (Tharkun)'s room ?

Randy, I don't remember the exact layout but my first thought would be to build two nice shelves coming out from the wall maybe 4 or 5 feet in the air, and put the amps on display. Forget about getting the cooling to your amps -- take the amps to the cooling.

Failing that :

1. If you have not already done so, get a hole saw and punch some holes in the shelves supporting the amps. Concentrate the holes under the heatsinks, of course.

2. Not sure if your back plate was right against the backs of the shelves or several inches away, but think about making a chimney at the back running from the top of the upper amp to the top of the rack, with a big hole at the top.

3. My guess is that the cooling air flows from the "closet" area behind the amps, and back into that closet again. Think about having air flow from the main room into the rack, and back out again at the top.

4. As a last resort, immerse the whole rack in mineral oil.

The first three are serious.
