    Stacking Amplifiers

    I'm considering moving around some equipment. One option is to stack a Rotel 1080 on top of a Rotel 1095. Has anyone tried this? I'd have 3.5 inches above the 1080. There would be a perforated door in front and open in the back. Any advise is appreciated.

    Most likely a bad idea there. There was a thread last week that quoted Rotel's manual for one of the two amps saying nothing should be stacked above it at all. If you haven't got any other options, I'd look into putting a powered exhaust fan in the closet near the amps to purge as much heat as possible.

      Thanks

      David,

      Thanks for the feedback. I believe a little more rearranging will allow me to keep these on different shelves with proper venting.

        I have used Rotel amps (RMB-1075) in a confined space and did not have any problems, but if possible I would seek out other options.

          any harm in stacking rotel amps?
          by BlazeMaster
          Is there any harm in stacking 2 rotel amps on top of each other? I'm thinking about getting the 1080 and already have the 1075. Due to rack space limits I will be forced to stack them on top of each other. They are both the same weight, with the 1075 a little taller of a chasis, is there any potential...

          by Woo Wooooo
          You guys see any problem stacking the 1050 DVD on top of the RSP-1098.
          Does the 1098 generate enough heat to hurt the DVD over time. :M My enclosure is fan cooled.... : Option 2 I can stack the 2 amps the RMB-1075 and the RB-1070 on top of it. what is the lesser of the two evils :twisted:...

          Stacking and heat.
          by Nolan B
          Would any problems arise from stacking a 1068 right on top of a 1075...are they designed to be ok that way or do you have to seperate them with a shelf?
