I own the Flex 6500.I took out the case fans for cleaning and removing dust but in order to replace them correctly, do they need to **** out?

    Interesting. Do you attach them to the outside of the case or the inside

    To the outside. On my ACOM amplifier I use for small magnets to hold it in place
