I've got a | couple installed in customer atics where it hits 150-160 that have been | working for years. Amplifiers can't take the heat. They need a cooler | environment. Some of your other components may flake as well. I've seen | routers and switches that were heat sensitive also. Since you said | structured wiring there is no telling what might be in that box eventually. | I would go with an interior wall in a closet. I hate working in closets, | but atleast you won't be getting radiated heat baking on an outside wall of | it. | | A north facing wall is better than another wall, but... whatever the temp | is in the garage will be close to the temp in your box. | | | -- | Sincerly, | The guy who makes the final decision on who we buy from. | Bob La Londe | | The Security Consultant | Bob La Londe - Owner | P.O.
