Know those small desktop fans??? Think it would be worthwhile to aim one into the back of my DSL40C???

Interesting. I never thought of installing a fan into the cabinet.
What would be a 'proper' coming fan for this job???

Something out of a PC would be the kind of thing. You can get them to work off mains voltage, so no messing with 12V power supplies

Hmmm...I have two, good sized, screened openings in the back....pull through or blowing in??? Which is more efficient???

Blowing in. That way you get a choice in where the air goes. In suck mode the air just enters from all directions.

That's a very useful idea. This is what I use, even though I rarely see the need to use it:
I'll use a fan like this depending on the situation. Two of my amps operate as Class A, which naturally run hot to very hot. Most of the times I'll have the fan on and direct it's air flow to the back of the amp. I like to place the little fan on the floor and point it up. It definitely prevents hot stagnant air from building up despite the obstructions from an open combo or head cabinet. I do not like to place or install the fan so close to the amps chassis where it might induce some electrical noise.

Very innovative.
My amp was running at 1/2 volume for 3 hours. When the band takes a break...I keep jamming.

A hardware store gem for $10! This one from Ace/Miners is a "Comfort Zone"... exotic import from China!

I like the base better than the pedestal
