I have a front exhaust system on an Aventage a1060. I set it to automatic and it does its thing and I never hear it. In fact, when the TV/music is muted I have to put my hand on the fan to feel it working because it's very quiet (at the lowest speed, I'm 28 years old, I have a good one hearing). . At 50% I can hear it with no sound, but when the TV/music is on at listening volume I can't hear the fan. At full volume it's noticeable at listening volume, but if I were having a house party with the music playing loud, you wouldn't hear it. I personally just keep it low, and after four hours of loud music (=more watts, meaning the amp is heating up) the amp was a cool 30ยฐF. To put this in perspective, before buying a fan pack, an amp with a similar volume was hot to the touch within 4 hours at a temperature of 120ยฐ. That led to this purchase. Photos: Photos 1 and 2. After 5 hours at a typical TV volume of 152 watts, the fan is running and the temperature in the photos is 26 ยฐ C. Photos 3 and 4 show the current case. Photos 5 and 6, after 45 minutes. Music at 110dB in the room, continuous consumption of 500+ watts, fan at 50%, temperature cool 89ยฐ. (For the first 10 minutes, the fan ran at 25% and the temperature was 94ยฐ.)
