And for what its worth, the "pull effect" is not as efficient as the air is being pulled from all around the fan based on the pressure gradients it induces. Very little airflow will be induced beyond a few inches from the fan. The "push" is better as the air is more or less directed in a stream across the heatsink. Even better, if it can be arranged, is to mount the fans above the heatsink so they blow air directly across it. Edit: The fan on the inside to draw air into the enclosure is actually the best solution, since its cooling the transformers, output inductors, H-bridge drivers, etc. Parts that rely on just ambient air temperature inside the enclosure to stay cool.

Any tips on connecting to aftermarket infotainment android units for cars? The aftermarket android units overheat and usually slows the unit.

@@whatitisnt. You might be able to use a stick-on silpad and a low-profile heatsink on the rear of the enclosure. It depends on how much space there is behind the unit. Even just getting something on the case itself can help a lot.

I used a removable push pull fan setup on my dual M4a rack when playing for extended times at carshows, definitely helped a LOT especially given that the rack enclosed the amps, I also mounted non removable fans on the back of the rack to blow though the venting on the rear panel for every day use these were relayed to come on when the amps came on.

I have done this in the past, and it works well to cool the transistors. But, it wont cool the other hot part in the amp: its transformers. Those get real hot, too, due to how lossy they can be. In my old JBL amp, the whole PCB turned black and the transformers melted down despite the case being kept cool to the touch. Class AB amp so its the worst-case scenario, but its worth noting that the H-bridge and PSU transistors are not the only things getting hot, and the outside case temperature does not help the internal components as much. Something to keep in mind that hot weather is still hot weather.

I have a problem with overheating with my car engine control unit. Should I install a pc fan? Or server fan? When ECU becomes too hot, the engine stops running. Most of overheating comes when I start to remove the car from one to another place, or in a trafic mess, when there is no wind to cool down ECU. What would you recommend me?

Iv seen car audio enthusiasts even modifying their cars a.c air and ducting pipes to the amps( usually walled off in trunk or back boot area )

It's called poor engineering by the amp manufacturer or poor selection on the part of the person specifying the amp. All electronics have a thermal limit and nothing properly designed for an application should require external cooling unless specified in it's manual. If specified up front, at least you know going in that it is required and the device is not designed to work in an environment that is over it's max temp range without external cooling.
