**Quick specs on the final build:**

* **Enclosure:** Custom 3D printed active-cooling box

* **Amplifier:** D'Amore E1000.1

* **Cooling:** Dual 60mm fans controlled by a W1209 digital thermostat and a custom relay harness

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share a custom project I finally finished building for my setup. I wanted a clean, fully protected, and actively cooled way to mount my D'Amore E1000.1 amplifier.

Here are the quick specs on the build:

Material: 3D printed from scratch using high-temperature PAHT-12 (Nylon 12) to make sure it handles car cabin heat without warping.

Top Cover: Thick lid with a clear plexi window (custom made by LAF) flush-mounted right over the amp to keep those circuit gut shots visible.

Hardware: Used M3 brass heat-set inserts melted into the structural posts at 280°C for the lid mounting.

Active Cooling: Integrated four 12V 60mm cooling fans.

The Brains: Wired the fans up to a W1209 digital thermostat and temperature controller module. The W1209 triggers a fused 30A automotive relay all i wired inside the 3d printed box, drawing high-current power directly from the main amplifier power terminal. This setup keeps the head unit remote wire safe from drawing heavy current, and only turns the fans on when the amp actually hits target temp.

Turned out incredibly clean in my opinion. Let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions about the wiring or print settings.
