Drill holes in rack shelf to keep amp cool?


I have my first seperates system going and it sounds great but the amp gets awful warm. I was thinking about drilling some holes in the shelf it sits on right under the heat sink to get a little more air flow.

The amp is on the bottom shelf which is only a couple of inches above the floor but I figure it would help a little.

Anyone tried this?

I replaced my solid wood back panel with an open plastic mesh screen. Even "cool running" stuff builds up heat in the summer.
Raising the amp up with bigger feet,or something under the feet may help the air flow through the bottom air intakes.♫
You really don't have an issue with heat. The Sony will run warm, even a little hot, but that's the way it's designed.
