Adding Fans.. Need Opinions
The fans are 60mm I have 4.
in the picture below they will be paired with 2 on each amp. both fans will be exhaust fans.. should i mount them closer to the center of the amp or one near each side of the end?

OR one fan at the back but in the center of the amp end and then one at the oher end.. the hidden fan near the lock boxes will be the pusher..

if you're mounting two fans per amp, have one that pushes and one that pulls. the open area near the lock boxes wont really help airflow over the heatsink, it will mainly get sucked out by the first fan it hits. if you have one push and one pull it'll cause an steady airstream and probably do a better job of cooling everything.

I should be able to try that..
