Did you leave room in the amp well for them to go on the left and right of the amp, flush with the plexi? > > F-B-A: what size fuse should he use for the +12 to the relay? A little above the amperage of both fans combined? Same thing for choosing a relay size I would assume. most car audio relays are 30/40 amps. the standard ones anyway, I would see what everything pulls then add a few amps to be safe, because most of that stuff is rated at 12V. but the car runs @ 14+ volts. I wouldent put to much thought into it i would throw a 10-15amp in it can call it a day. -Joe --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/can-i-cover-my-amp-with-plexi-and-not-over-heat-it/194652)._
