The cooling fins of the amp are flush against the amp rack on one side and very close to touching the carpet padding on the other side. I'm not sure if this is an issue as the whole top of the amp acts as a heatsink (as I understand it). Perhaps I should re-mount the amps?

Beautiful set-up by the way Ron. Wish I were in PA; I'd pester you to listen to your system. I'm entering the MECA street comp here in California coming up in the next week.
You may be right about the positioning of the amps. It may be as simple as putting slightly more space (if you can) Between them, or simply turning them over (bottom to top). If all else fails, a fan will definitely help... even under the carpet.
Good luck at your show, and thanks for the props...
