Recently got a Marantz receiver and my existing tv cabinet only has one place that I can place it. It's been working fine but has been getting extremely hot, so I'm a little worried about overheating in the future and want to be proactive. It's open on the front and back but I only have approximately 1" on each side and about 3" on the top for ventilation. I was thinking of getting THIS fan and placing it on top of it to help draw the hot air out.

Think that would be sufficient or should I start looking for other tv stands?

So you think if I combine that first fan and use a dremel to make a spot for THIS fan at the back (it's the same company so it looks like I can daisy chain both to the same outlet) to pull the hot air out I should be good?

can you cut out the back?

Get this

If you could do intake fan at the lower level of your cabinet and exhaust on the top, would be the best

Ive also seen people use laptop cooling pads as well
