Convective cooling is the amplifier's key to a long trouble free life. Restrictions to the thermal dissipation is going reduce the life of your amplifier. How much? Who knows, but in any case, impeding the air flow in the case is a bad idea near the top of the stack of bad ideas. If it were me, I would find another way as far as the 2 amplifier location and heat management are concerned. Just saying. In general the life of electronic components decreases by a factor of 2 for every 10 degrees C temperature rise. Likewise a decrease of 10C will double the life. Also the lower the temperature overall,. the less the impact of thermal cycling which also shortens life of electronics due to differences in thermal coefficients of expansion. - Keep it cool! |
