Flirting with the thought of an ultra portable rack rig. F1X and either a Carvin DCM200L or an SWR Amplite in a cool looking tolex covered 2U rack like the Carvin SV2. Is this a recipe for disaster? Am I going to run into heat issues? Thanks in advance for any guidance! -Sanj |

I don't know those amps, but if you are blocking a vent, I'd be concerned. I have my pre's and poweramp racked up tight, but my QSC pulls air in through the front and out the back, so there is no blockage. |

Here's what I heard back from Carvin: "When we eliminated the toroid in the older units, it decreased the heat issues significantly. You should be fine, as long as the back remains open. " |

Well ... when the dust settled I landed up with the F1X paired with an SWR Amplite. 4 gigs and still good. Still do not have a rack case .. hustling everything around in an old suitcase |

Any personal reviews on the Amplite? I'm quite curious! |
