Wanted: Cheap 12v computer fans

Building an amp rack, tired of my sub amp overheating, and I'm adding a mids and highs amp in the next few weeks... anybody have some fans?

Dave, perhaps?

LMK what you've got. Trying to keep this low budget... my system is hodge-podged together but it works.

Put the amps on the bottom of the floor. Presto: cool amps when you drive!

Aren't computer fans 5V?

Some are 5, some are 12.

Where on the floor would you suggest? There will be two. I don't know if both will fit under the passenger seat, though I suppose I could measure.

Hmm...

if you mount them metal on the floor, free heat sink

Hmmm.... good idea.

Will investigate this under-seat mounting more.

How many and what size do you want. I have some brand new 120x38mm 130cfm Deltas that I could give you for $3 a piece plus shipping.

Looking for like 4 or 5, I'll have to measure the spot where I want to put them to make sure those fit. Will let you know.

lol, I was actually joking and meant UNDER the floor. However, I do have the amps in my 71 on the floor under my seats. One four channel, and one two channel for the subs.

Ah. I see.

I have two 4ch amps. Not sure if they'll both fit. Will inspect when the second one arrives. Might not be such a bad idea... could easily just take the seat out, measure, have fun. Plus it would hide more of the wires... My current setup has a few exposed.

Ray, Dave used all the fans he could find I'm sure.

LOL Good point. :p

I bought some fans on ebay for cheap. It was a buy it now,or make an offer...I made an offer, and got them.

I got 12 computer fans from a local compter fixit shop. They had planty kicking around. Some had ducting on them, some not. Check it out. Didn't spend more than $5.00 each.
I used them for my remote ignition module setup..

A computer repair shop would also be my suggestion. One local shop has shelves full of used parts. Want cables for cheap? A printer for $15? They have it.

dave has so many electric fans he has a 200 amp alternator to run them,..

BTW the fans I have are not cheap fans and are brand new but a few years old. You can do a search on them and will see that they will or would have cost in the $15~$25 range.

Here are a couple pics I just took.





I had two of them in this computer (on the radiator) that ran 24/7 for almost six years. The only reason it didn't run longer was a motherboard failure and I could not find a decent replacement.



And have two on my current one that has been running 24/7 for just over a year since I put it together.
