Author Topic: Power Amp Fan Replacment Brandon Lokesak Film Handler Posts: 34 From: Johnstown, PA USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 07-30-2005 06:40 PM                     We recently had one of our Ashley amps cooling fans die on us and I was wondering if anyone knew what size they were? I havent been able to get inside of them yet to figure it out. Im assuming its a 4 inch 115 volt fan? Any help would be greatly appreciated.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

Older QSC amps use custom made fans, for example. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Brandon Lokesak Film Handler Posts: 34 From: Johnstown, PA USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 07-30-2005 07:16 PM                     Thanks very much.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 07-30-2005 08:47 PM                        It's a standard 4" fan, but they are inexpensive from Ashly; so I agree: get them there. 1-800-828-6308 Louis  |  IP: Logged Jonathan M.

It was a bigger fan and moves a lot more cfm of air but it does the job. EDIT - the fan I used was a Dayton 110 cfm axial fan. No 4C550. [ 07-31-2005, 03:59 PM: Message edited by: Jonathan M.

Grainger fans are good, I use alot of them with almost no troubles at all. quote: Aaron Sisemore Older QSC amps use custom made fans, for example. Aaron, Are you referring to the childs phonograph motor they use in the 1200, 1400, etc., and in the USA series?

Since 1985, I've only changed about 20. Not bad for selling 500-800 per year. Louis  |  IP: Logged
