How many clamps do I need to assemble my sub enclosure?

Greg - why are so many sub plate amps designed with such pi$$-poor thermal dissipation properties, and in the case shown for the BASH, not much margin for a safe and sealed install? Mounting the heat sinks inside to allow for a clean look from the outside is, I think - to be polite - not a brilliant idea?

No clue beyond tooling, assembly cost cutting. Wouldn't surprise me if these are inexpensive HT receiver assemblies on a custom mounting plate 'cause they sure look like some I 'popped the hood' off of years ago.

I assume the heatsinks are inside now [didn't use to be on high watters] due to the 'free' world's preoccupation with the gov't. protecting us from ourselves.

Funny you should ask..........

I've only recently been able to do anything even remotely DIY audio rated in well over a decade now other than be a 'talking head' and long story short, I heated up a 200/300/600 W amp enough to fry eggs on its top because I'd forgotten the fan was disconnected and it was only driving a pair of CSS FR125Ss in some soft pillow 'cabs'.

Fortunately, it's 'built like a tank', so as best I can tell, no real damage AFAIK.

Introducing... "The Elephant in the Room":

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

And the FMOD crossover mess:

By the way, I was able to use all 10 screw holes on the plate amp, after all. It was a pita, though.
This is by no means a form of accurate measurement, but I definitely feel the bass even at 15hz.

Mission accomplished, I guess. 🙂
