Here in the U.S.A. you can snag a new 180W car amp for about $23.00 at the local PepBoys auto parts store, so I just go that route.

To help cool it inside of a small space, I'm useing a computer heatsink with a fan mounted on to. I drilled some holes into the top of the amp and through the heatsink, a little thermal grease (probably dont need this), mounted the heatsink to the amp, then attached the fan back on. Ran the 12V+ fan wire to the remote port on the amp and the negative to the ground port on the amp. Works great and doesnt get hot or emit heat within the cabinet.

Just an idea!  :beer
