Water cooling might actually be pretty easy... assuming you can pin-point the best places to cool. Pretty much, if you could attach a 'super heatsink', preferably on the flat bottom side of the amp and out of view, where would be the best place for the heatsink to go?

...actually I guess with this idea:

you could just use a thin copper shim/plate and attach it to one of the larger water blocks/heat sinks using the thermal adhesive to create a larger surface area. Maybe put a few of these modified water blocks w/ extra surface area in places under the amp that produce the most heat, and it'd probably work great actually.

Could use Artic Silver thermal compound adhesive to attach the heatsink(s)...
its supposed to hold very strong, of course w/ high temp too:

Most are small, for chipsets, but like above you could make the heat sink larger, and the liquid would still do a great job transfering the heat away (40x40mm, 50x50mm)

Although a larger water block/heatsink like this would be excelent, if only the contact point was perfectly flat...

This one actually seems plausible, multiple copper contact points are at the same level except for one that could easily be rasied up to the level of the others with a copper shim + thermal adhesive

also, of course, like cooling a computer... I guess you could run lines for in and out flow into the amp and put the low profile ones straight on the chips that make the most heat... example: ones for mosfet:

except I would be too concerned about a leak inside my amplifier!!! I guess the same goes w/ computers, but still....


and ya, plenty of stuff to choose from for the reservoir / pump / radiator.

one like this you could route to a more visible area and show off your liquid cooled system for your amps lol:

Of course all of this seems a bit overboard and extremely expensive when a couple crossflow fans or even computer case fans w/ the air flow routed should work fine?

Even tho the water cooling is expensive and overkill... I wonder if anyone has done it for a show car??

this is very kool. id like to hear how that sounds.

Wow those are great ideas and sorry I haven't been on in a while but I think I will stay away from the water cooling idea.

I am gonna redo my trunk yet again but its to display different items for shows. I'm going to go back and display the airbag setup and somewhat hide the amps unfortunately and do a mirror or monitor display of the 13Av.2 in a traditional recutangular box...basically I'm doing away with fiberglass in my setup and plus I want a somewhat removable setup of the 13Av so I can take my car out to the track since I will be adding a little more performance upgrades and I would love to ability to instantly shave off about 200lbs of weight on the fly lol. Stay tuned for it all sometime next year when I get some cash.
