RACK CASE TOO DEEP FOR MY SWR AMP .

Sign in to disble this ad
Most rack cases are too deep for my SWR Workingmans amp , not being fan cooled I dont want the heatsink sinking in its own heat !! , any suggestions of companies that make cases that arent the standard depth , nothin here in New Zealand . My thought was to buy a standard plywood type case , dismantle it and shorten it by about 4 inches .
Ive also found that the ABS type like my SKB I use for my Warwick amp require taking the feet off the amp to enable it to slide into the case , a real hassle , I think the Plywood types are more flat bottomed and units can just slide in .

I think you can find a rack mount fan to exhaust the air out. I thought I saw one that had dual fans single space

+1, this is a much better solution than no fan, especially if the rack has rear rails on it.

Try out EWI. They do racks in 10, 12, 14 and standard depth racks.

I've always had the opposite problem. Racks that are too shallow!
Well except with my Mesa, its 4 RU tall and not terribly deep, except tonally.
