Default Cooling my amps

One of my amps (zapco st-4x sq) went into protective mode today after playing my music loud for some extended period of time. My amps are located behind the rear strut under the carpet.

I've been looking at cooling fans, however, I'm not sure how much CFM I'll need to appropriately do the job. I felt the wind produced by a 55 CFM computer cooling fan and it doesn't seem like it'll move enough air to properly cool the amp. Interestingly enough, a lot of the cross-flow fans designed for cooling amps only move about 60 CFM, so perhaps 55-60 cfm is sufficient? Thoughts appreciated here.

Also, what have some of you used to cool your amp(s), if anything?
