bananagoby Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 oh and yes there is a piece of plexiglass that goes in there to keep the water away from everything just kept bouncing the flash back Link to comment
ngericke Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Just a little advise here I would remotely mount the ballasts to cut down on the heat inside of the canopy It is easy to do and only cost about $3 Looks good though Link to comment
bananagoby Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 there are 2 fans going on each side i thought the same thing so i figured i'd go with fans what would be the way you would mount them would i use some kind of box or something i would rather not mount them inside so i can add a 13w pc in there also Link to comment
