I am installing a new home and will have the sonos amps in recessed low voltage boxes behind the TVs. In one particular box there will be a samsung one connect box, apple TV, and sonos amp. Is there any threat of the sonos amp overheating? The amp gets fairly warm in a rack, just concerned about it being with other items that get warm, especially in an enclosed space with no air movement.

Thanks for the info. Is there a better recommended solution? I don’t want the amp to be in the rack because HDMI length would exceed 50 feet (i think TV location is around 120 ft from rack).
I’m not following exactly what this box looks like, how big it is, but you could just mount the amp directly to the wall. Depending on how big your TV is and what sort of mount you use, there could be plenty or room for the Amp and your other devices.
Not exactly the same situation, but I have a lot of equipment in the closet behind my TV. It does get rather hot in there, but I resolved by installed a temperature controlled fan that will vent air into the attic space above when it get’s too hot.

Storage temperature for the Amp is -4°F to 122°F. The Amp needs airflow to stay cool. If the box is not ventilated, there is a risk of the Amp overheating especially if it’s in a box with two other devices.

+2Planning on using this box: https://www.snapav.com/shop/en/snapav/boxes/strong-trade%3B-versabox%E2%84%A2-pro-%7C-recessed-flat-panel-solution---14-x-14--sm-rbx-pro-14-blk
Unfortunately there are alot of samsung frame TVs so there is no way to mount anything external of box. I will investigate a small fan that can mount inside this box to exhaust hot air, thanks!
+2Will try to use something like this to exhaust the hot air with conduit running to recessed box, what do you think?
