Large amp fan for Classe CAV150


My Classe CAV150 is running really hot with my Thiel CS3.6 ran in bridged mode.  It looks like the AV Infinity fan is too small for this unit.  Has anyone found a good "flat" quiet fan that might be good for this?  Options?

A CAV 150 or any amp with 36 output transistors and 28 caps is likely to run warm to begin with, and bridged, well you feel it now. You are on the right path with a good fan if you must. I'd be tempted to run 1/2" spacers on the top cover and blow air across or fab up another topic cover with holes in it to carry hot air up/out faster.
