Stacking Components- Amps

[PhxComm]

When using these in a rack, can you stack the amps on top of each other? How many? Otherwise, they'd have to go on shelves. When two are on their own shelf side-by-side, is just the 2U enough space? Nothing indicates where and how these are cooled. The manual says don't block ventilation, but then doesn't say where that is.

Same questions for Pro/Pro Plus, but I'll post that in the appropriate spot separately.

2U is more than enough for two in a side-by-side configuration.

Ventilation is on the bottom, vents surround the bottom part.

Here yah go, this is what the vents look like:

What is WiiM's official direction on this? And stacking? Do they look here or is it just kind of a free for all of information?

I wouldn’t stack. The ventilation is on bottom but the top can get quite warm/hot. Seems to work as heat sink.

I’d agree unless you can get one of the small acrylic racks which might offer at least an inch of headroom for ventilation (check dimensions before you buy). I think others in the forum have posted images of such racks previously.
