[Amps] Water cooled amp question

[Jan Erik Holm]

Go to the automobile junk yard. Get a radiator from some
small car (Saab, Peugot, Opel or what ever), also get the
fan that usually is thermostate controlled, a small aquarium
pump, some rubber hosing and some other small parts. Use
common sense and hook everything up and you are in bussines.

good luck
