My plan is to create a combo amp with 2 10" or 12" speakers so trying to find room for a huge heat sink while still keeping a "normal" looking cabinet is proving to be difficult. Rack mount may be the easiest way to go but I'm building this amp for a friend to use for gigs so it's much easier to tote around a single cabinet than a head/cabinet combo.
Definetely go bigger rather than "might be big enough." If you read through some of the threads here you will see that a few people have gone with heatsinks that "should be ok" and then fried their chip(s). Plus big heat sinks look cool.
