Monitor as a cooling device???

Sort gig story. Once at a convention gig, the CEO wanted to address the conventioneers. So, he came up on stage and did his speech etc. As he was leaving the stage, he asked me what happened to the breeze. Of course, I've got this puzzled look on my face as all sorts of possibilities went through my mind. Then he pointed down to the monitors and asked "Aren't those fans?" I then explained what their function was. He said he had always thought that they were fans for keeping cool at hot venues and on stages. That was a new one for me, but I guess to the average guy, that could be a logical assumption. Maybe even a good idea. Attach a fan to the monitor! Who knows? :cool:
 
Just pry out one of those awful JBL 12" woofers and replace it with one of these:

It seems like a lot to haul a monitor box with a dinky fan in it to a gig. if your hot, get one of those big stainless steel 2" industrial jobs and stick it in front of you. then you aren't hauling a stupid monitor box around.

Two in one is cool though.
