Cooling Device for Outside Cabinet
Posted on 8/10/15 at 10:13 am
Posted on 8/10/15 at 10:13 am
I recently set up an outside entertainment system with a few components inside a wood cabinet. It seems to get fairly hot inside of the cabinet because of the heat lately, which causes the devices to almost become hot to the touch. Does anyone have any ideas for air circulation or cooling?
The best ideas I have come up with so far is either a small portable fan inside to move air, or a laptop cooling pad.
TIA

I was going to suggest a fan to blow the hot air out and draw in some fresh air. That link Tiger posted hits the nail on the head!

I hide my amps inside a cabinet at my wife's request. They were running really hot, so I installed some quiet computer fans rigged to a temp controller. Fans go on when it hits 95 degrees and stays on until it returns to 80 degrees.
I have them sucking hot air out of the amps now because I was concerned about dust being blown into the amp, but two fans one facing down and one facing up on an amp would get pretty good air flow.

I bought two computer fans online and mounted them in my cabinet. I used one to force air in and mounted it towards the bottom. I used the second one at the top to pull the hot air out. It's on a cabinet inside but it did the trick for about $30.

Good thoughts, thanks all.

Put them in a Yeti. Or slap a Yeti sticker on the cabinet. Problem solved.

Get some little squirrel cage fans from parts express. They're cheap as shite. Make sure you order them to push or pull correctly

I'd also get a fan controller so that you can adjust them as the seasons change.
