- I tried/installed 2 'Kool-It' fans sometime ago, located on each inside
- corner, they fit well. But really did'nt do much to help the heat prob.
- I have a CSA 12G 50x50x32M and it do get warm;-)
- After reading from others with various plans, I
- 1-Removed the trap door cover, Er...left it off
- 2-Have 2 3" big CFM fans sucking from the bottum.
- Because I was'nt sure if I used an AC fan that I might introduce AC
- hum, I used an AC and DC to be sure/check.
- The fans are installed in the shelf that my 1200 rests on.
- I've been using the above for Apprx 1 Yr now without any heat related
- problems or any AC Hum probs.
- Power for the fans is from my Big Foot, when I tried the 'Kool-It'
- fans, they came with Micro Hocks to attach to the 1200's power connector
