amp mounting upside down

Hi,

I’m planning on a ceiling mount for the amp, where the amp would be upside down and there is nothing in amp manual that specifically either allows or prohibits that orientation. The amp would be screwed onto a metal plate about 50mm wide and 250mm long which in turn would be screwed to joists in the ceiling. Would that create a problem with ventilation, if so would it need to be spaced off the ceiling to allow airflow, or would I have to construct a U shaped bracket to mount the right way up and how much gap between the top of the amp and the ceiling - looking at pictures of the rack mount I would imagine ½ inch would be more than adequate

    Are you conversing with the chat bot? I don’t think I would trust that to give accurate information.

      This is a view of the Amp’s internal circuitry. No moving parts.

        Once again, the Sonos support person/bot is just trying to BS their way through a call that they don't have a script for.  People are far too reliant on support staff that, while admirable in their jobs, are not actual experts.  They are script readers, and are instructed to give nebulous "do no harm" answers for anything not in the script.  Their bots are programmed the same way.

        I think at this point we’ve presented enough information. If (and that’s a VERY BIG IF) something goes south the OP may want to sue the community 😂
