Thanks guys,
I'm trying to fit the 3cx800 into a stripped Dentron 2500 cabinet. I would
like to raise the tube up and put the base into a little pressurized cabinet
that the blower will push air into, then have it vent up the chimney. I was
just a bit concerned about raising the tube up too close to the top of the
cabinet. I think there will be enough clearance though if all I need is an
inch or so top and bottom.
