How much heat do these generate? I'm considering running 2 on a 45 G corner stand; 1 on each back side. Good idea bad idea?

I agree with the former comments.....The heat generated is negligible and it shouldn't affect the tank temp.

Not a lot if you ask me. It's worth it if you do. If I were you I would do 3. Or one double bio wheel along with one of these. That's what I use on my 30 gallon salt tank. You actually should consider using 2 double bio wheels. That way you'll have 4 outlets instead of 2. Just my opinion. More filtration is better than not enough. I would use some polishing pads in all of em if I were you. They help keep the water clear as a whistle. Hope this helped.

2 would be fine. Lots of power here. Back wall pointed out. I have 8 of these and they are THE Best you'll find anywhere. All are over 5 years old. I use them everyday. Not a problem....ever.

Typical heat generated by a receiver. I think my Elite 94thx ran a little hotter. I've ran this in 2 channels up to 9.2 at reference level(aka LOUD) music and movies

well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones from "Coolerguys."But, so far I have not noticed what I consider "excessive" heat." well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones... » Read More well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones from "Coolerguys."But, so far I have not noticed what I consider "excessive" heat." « Show Less

Ive had 2 of these for a year and half they are badass. I personally use a 40 amp breaker to run them. Pullin roughly 600 watts. I used 30 amp fueses and would always blow them when the bass hit low. P.S this is for 2 subs at 2 ohms make sure your amp will handle this and dont try to put 600 watt to one sub. You will blow one in a heart beat. Been there done that. Haha.

I have 5 of them. No problem at all. Make sure. Hot and ground are not crossed, other than that i don't know

Not a good idea.... these get very hot. I have them in my kitchen in undercabinet strip lighting and the heat up the interior of kitchen cabinets. I purchased a motion activated LED night light on Amazon which works great.

No - we have no used them much as our electrical is not wired correctly outside. You should have them high up and project where you want heat.

I would advise against it...while there might not be a problem at moderate levels, the amp should have sufficient area available for heat dissapation, in order to prevent overheating. So, if you can avoid it Eduardo, I'd do so. :)

I run 2 of these in an 8 foot by 4 foot by 8 foot room, 1 for intake air and 1 for exhaust. These flow more then enough to keep the room cool depending on temps outside the grow room of course.

Our receivers do tend to run about 80 degrees above ambient room temperature, this is normal. If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation. Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape. Please make sure that when you turn off the main receiver that you also turn off the Zone 2 because if you don't turn off Zone2 (if your receiver has this feature) then the receiver will continue to run and will produce heat. There is an internet dealer selling cooling fans that can be used with our receivers www.coolerguys.com.

i am using 2 as a supplement to my 2 200 watt CFLs. Just installed them so I will post once they are up for a while. My cucumbers taking up too much of the CFL light so the tubes are run vertically to get all the way to the top of the cucumber as well as lower for my kale and butter crunch salad

We use two 50 foot cords hooked together. never had a problem with overheating. The unit works well but if you are left handed, it is a little awkward at first until you get used to it

I think in very well might be better to install 2 of them. I have a single level 2400--but has a bonus room above garage--and a very tall attic space. I got 1 and it is only cooling my attic 10 degrees or so in the heat of the afternoon. I may look to buy a 2nd one later on down the road.

Yes I have used them before and they do show a little heat when they have been running for a long time to reach temp. It should not however be super hot or smell hot. But, some heating is normal As long as you are within the 240v limit and no more than 10 amps all is fine. If you are using a normal 240v then you would be at 10amps. Hope this helped. If not get a hold of an electrician and check the heating circuit. This unit should handle it

In my experience with these, they don't put out any measurable heat at all...if you'd like a picture of what they look like in my back yard, shoot me an email to jm@cadwallader.us and I'll forward one to you.Great Buy in my opinion!

It depends on your setup, stock you can add 3, two on the side panel and one on the bottom. I use a water cooled system so I use the rear 140 mm and turned the two led 120's to draw from the front. I have the H100i mounted in the top so up there I have two 120mm fans. The case is huge so you should have no problem keeping it cool with the stock setup.
