I have been using cooling fans on my AMP due to Heat as well. I purchased
two 12 volt fans from an electronics suplus store. The fans are noisy
when mounted flush with the top of the grill on top of the amp. I used
q-tip heads to raise the fans about 5 mm in order to reduce the noise.
The fans turn on when the Stereo comes on. They are powered by my
equalizer's 120output. I used a 120 to 12 v DC transformer to bring the
voltage down. I am surprised that most amps do not have fans. I guess the
manufacturers are more interested in cutting costs. The fans definately
help. I had thermal problems in Texas because the amp was on the sunny
side of my house. The fans resolved the thermal problem by moving the
heat away.
