Thanks Doug and others.  :P

I've got good news and bad news.....

Good news is they are now about 95-6 degrees on the top surface.  If I place the probe through one of the air holes and touch the heatsinks it goes much higher, which I would think this is normal.

Bad news is that I had to pull one of the amps out of the opening and set it on the floor. 

So I guess now I have to figure out what I'm going to do.  Thanks Doug for the fan link, I'll check that out as an option. 

The cabinet is built out of solid oak, I may have to make another one out of different material, or place some air holes on the side.  Right now, just the front and back are open.  I was also thinking about cutting the opening higher on the top side, which would require me to redue the trim work.

Thanks, Randy
